Quadrant 1Geometry Flashcard

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

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

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position on a graph, indicating how far to move left or right from the origin.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position on a graph, indicating how far to move up or down from the origin.

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

How do you move to the right on a graph?

Back

To move to the right on a graph, you increase the x-coordinate.

Front

How do you move to the left on a graph?

Back

To move to the left on a graph, you decrease the x-coordinate.

Front

How do you move up on a graph?

Back

To move up on a graph, you increase the y-coordinate.

Front

How do you move down on a graph?

Back

To move down on a graph, you decrease the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the distance from a point to the y-axis?

Back

The distance from a point to the y-axis is the absolute value of the x-coordinate.

Front

What is the distance from a point to the x-axis?

Back

The distance from a point to the x-axis is the absolute value of the y-coordinate.
