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 the y-axis (vertical).

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

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

How do you plot the point (3,2) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 3 units to the right (x-axis), and then 2 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the point (4,5)?

Back

4

Front

What is the y-coordinate of the point (4,5)?

Back

5

Front

If a point is located at (0,4), where is it on the coordinate plane?

Back

It is on the y-axis, 4 units above the origin.
