COORDINATE PLANE

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

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 (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) are the two lines that define the coordinate plane.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal line in the coordinate plane where y=0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical line in the coordinate plane where x=0.

Front

How do you plot the point (3,4) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 3 units right (x=3), then move 4 units up (y=4).

Front

What is the quadrant system in the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants based on the signs of x and y coordinates.
