Coordinates

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a coordinate plane, usually written as (x, y).

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

The 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 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 does the x-axis represent?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How do you read coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are read as (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What are positive coordinates?

Back

Positive coordinates are points located in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, where both x and y values are greater than zero.

Front

What are negative coordinates?

Back

Negative coordinates are points located in the third quadrant of the coordinate plane, where both x and y values are less than zero.

Front

What is a quadrant in a coordinate plane?

Back

A quadrant is one of the four sections of the coordinate plane, divided by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

What is the purpose of coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are used to specify locations, plot points, and graph equations on a coordinate plane.
