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), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What does an ordered pair represent?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that define a point's position on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

Which letter represents the first number in an ordered pair?

Back

X

Front

What type of integers are located to the left of the origin on the x-axis?

Back

Negative integers.

Front

What are the coordinates of Point A if it is located 3 units to the right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

(3, 2)

Front

What are the coordinates of Point B if it is located 4 units to the left and 5 units down from the origin?

Back

(-4, -5)

Front

How do you plot the point (4, -12) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Right 4, down 12.

Front

What are the coordinates of Point C?

Back

(-4, -2)

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal line in the coordinate plane where y=0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical line in the coordinate plane where x=0.
