Graphing Points Using the Coordinate System

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 are ordered pairs?

Back

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

Front

What does the x-axis represent in the coordinate plane?

Back

The horizontal number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in the coordinate plane?

Back

The vertical number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you graph the point (3, 4) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin, move 3 places to the right (x-axis), and then move 4 places up (y-axis).

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

What are quadrants in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

If a train travels 150 miles in 3 hours, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time = 150 miles / 3 hours = 50 miles per hour.

Front

What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (2, 7) on the coordinate plane?

Back

The distance is 4 units, as they share the same x-coordinate.

Front

How do you find the value of y when x = 5 in the equation y = 2x + 1?

Back

Substitute x with 5: y = 2(5) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11.
