The Coordinate Plane Assignment 2

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

The 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 (x, y).

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: 1st Quadrant (x > 0, y > 0), 2nd Quadrant (x < 0, y > 0), 3rd Quadrant (x < 0, y < 0), 4th Quadrant (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

In which quadrant is the point (6, -8) located?

Back

The point (6, -8) is located in the 4th quadrant.

Front

How do you determine the distance between two points on the same horizontal line?

Back

To find the distance between two points on the same horizontal line, subtract the x-coordinates and take the absolute value.

Front

What is the distance between the points (8, -10) and (5, -10)?

Back

The distance is 3 units.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (9, -7) located?

Back

The point (9, -7) is located in the 4th quadrant.

Front

What does the ordered pair (-1, 1) represent on the coordinate plane?

Back

The ordered pair (-1, 1) represents a point located 1 unit left of the origin and 1 unit up.

Front

What is the distance between the points (-2, -6) and (-2, 5)?

Back

The distance is 11 units.

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point with a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate?

Back

A point with a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate is located in the 4th quadrant.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis and y-axis in the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line that intersect at the origin (0,0), helping to define the position of points.
