Horizontal and Vertical Distance on 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 four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

I (+, +), II (-, +), III (-, -), IV (+, -).

Front

In which quadrant do both x and y values have positive signs?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

In which quadrant do x values have negative signs and y values have positive signs?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

How do you find the horizontal distance between two points?

Back

Subtract the x-coordinates of the points.

Front

How do you find the vertical distance between two points?

Back

Subtract the y-coordinates of the points.

Front

What is the distance between the points (–6,–10) and (–2,–10)?

Back

4 units, calculated as |-6| - |-2|.

Front

What is the distance between the points (0, 6) and (0, -4)?

Back

10 units, calculated as |6| + |4|.

Front

What is the distance between the points (5, 6) and (5, 8)?

Back

2 units, calculated as |8| - |6|.

Front

What does a positive x value and a negative y value indicate about a point's location?

Back

The point is located in Quadrant IV.
