Coordinate Grid Practice

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). Each point on the plane is defined by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The first number in a coordinate pair represents the position along the x-axis (horizontal direction).

Front

What does the second number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The second number in a coordinate pair represents the position along the y-axis (vertical direction).

Front

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

Back

To locate the point (3, 2), move 3 units to the right on the x-axis and then 2 units up on the y-axis.

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

What are quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrants are the four sections of the coordinate plane, divided by the x-axis and y-axis. They are labeled as Quadrant I, II, III, and IV.

Front

What is the coordinate of Point A if it is located 4 units right and 7 units up from the origin?

Back

The coordinate of Point A is (4, 7).

Front

What is the coordinate of Point B if it is located 2 units left and 5 units down from the origin?

Back

The coordinate of Point B is (-2, -5).

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a grid?

Back

To identify the coordinates, find the horizontal position (x) first, then the vertical position (y) by counting the units from the origin.

Front

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

Back

The distance is 2 units, as they are vertically aligned on the same x-coordinate.
