What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

What are ordered pairs?

Back

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers used to represent the position of a point on a coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

How do you plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0,0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0, 0).

What is the distance formula for two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The distance formula is d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

How can you determine if four points form a rectangle?

Back

To determine if four points form a rectangle, check if opposite sides are equal in length and if the angles between the sides are right angles.
