Coordinate Plane Warm-up

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 axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical) are the two lines that define the coordinate plane.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The first number in the ordered pair (x, y) represents the x-coordinate.

Front

How do you identify the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The second number in the ordered pair (x, y) represents the y-coordinate.

Front

What does it mean to plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point means to mark its location based on its ordered pair (x, y) by moving along the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

How do you move to the left on the coordinate plane?

Back

By decreasing the x-coordinate value.

Front

How do you move to the right on the coordinate plane?

Back

By increasing the x-coordinate value.

Front

How do you move up on the coordinate plane?

Back

By increasing the y-coordinate value.
