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).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot a point on a 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.

Front

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).

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they never intersect and have the same slope.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be perpendicular?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if they intersect at a right angle (90 degrees).

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
