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). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position.

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position.

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 ordered pair (0, 0).

How do you graph the point (3, 9) on the coordinate plane?

Back

To graph (3, 9), start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right on the x-axis, and then move 9 units up on the y-axis.

What is the significance of the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is used to measure horizontal distances and represents the first value in an ordered pair.

What is the significance of the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is used to measure vertical distances and represents the second value in an ordered pair.

What is the relationship between the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate determines the horizontal position, while the y-coordinate determines the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.
