Coordinate Plane 5th Grade

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 (x, y).

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The axes are the two perpendicular lines that define the coordinate plane: the horizontal line is called the x-axis, and the vertical line is called the y-axis.

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).

How do you plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0, 0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

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).
