Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

In an ordered pair (x, y), what does 'x' represent?

Back

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

Front

In an ordered pair (x, y), what does 'y' represent?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right (x-axis), and then 4 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the point (5, 2)?

Back

The x-coordinate is 5.

Front

What is the y-coordinate of the point (5, 2)?

Back

The y-coordinate is 2.

Front

If you move 2 units left and 3 units down from the origin, what is the ordered pair?

Back

The ordered pair is (-2, -3).

Front

What does it mean to plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point means to mark its location based on its x and y coordinates.

Front

What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (2, 5) on the coordinate plane?

Back

The distance is 2 units (vertical distance on the y-axis).

Front

What is the distance between the points (4, 1) and (6, 1) on the coordinate plane?

Back

The distance is 2 units (horizontal distance on the x-axis).
