Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line (x-axis) and a vertical number line (y-axis).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) that divide the plane into four quadrants.

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 (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

How do you plot the point (4, 9)?

Back

Start at the origin, move 4 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 9 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What are quadrants in the coordinate plane?

Back

The four sections created by the x-axis and y-axis.
