Coordinate Plane

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 y-axis (vertical) 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.

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position.

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 plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The vertical line on the coordinate plane where x=0.

Front

What is the X-axis?

Back

The horizontal line on the coordinate plane where y=0.

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, 0)?

Back

It is called the origin and serves as the reference point for all other points.
