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 are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

What is the significance of the signs of coordinates?

Back

The signs of coordinates indicate the quadrant in which the point is located: positive x and y in Quadrant I, negative x and positive y in Quadrant II, negative x and y in Quadrant III, and positive x and negative y in Quadrant IV.

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

To identify the coordinates of a point, determine how far it is from the origin along the x-axis (x-coordinate) and how far it is along the y-axis (y-coordinate).

What is the distance between two points on the coordinate plane?

Back

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the distance formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).
