Coordinate Plane

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line. They intersect at the origin (0,0).

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

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 ordered pair (0, 0).
