Coordinate Plane 8.24

Front

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 x-axis and y-axis?

Back

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

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 coordinates (0, 0).

Front

How do you identify a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

A point is identified by its coordinates (x, y), where 'x' is the position on the x-axis and 'y' is the position on the y-axis.

Front

What does the point (2, 5) represent on the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (2, 5) is located 2 units to the right of the origin and 5 units up.

Front

Which axis is a vertical number line?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line.

Front

Which axis is a horizontal number line?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line.

Front

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

Back

The distance is 3 units, measured vertically along the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

The distance is 3 units, measured horizontally along the x-axis.

Front

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

Back

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