E Ascue SOL 6.MG.3 Coordinate Plane Test

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 (x, y).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: I (x > 0, y > 0), II (x < 0, y > 0), III (x < 0, y < 0), IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, 4) located?

Back

Quadrant I, because both x and y are positive.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-2, 5) located?

Back

Quadrant II, because x is negative and y is positive.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-3, -4) located?

Back

Quadrant III, because both x and y are negative.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (4, -2) located?

Back

Quadrant IV, because x is positive and y is negative.

Front

How do you find the coordinates of a point that is two units to the right of (1, 3)?

Back

Add 2 to the x-coordinate: (1 + 2, 3) = (3, 3).

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is 0.
