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).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane.

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).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number represents the position along the x-axis.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number represents the position along the y-axis.

Front

How do you move right on a coordinate plane?

Back

To move right, you increase the x-coordinate.

Front

How do you move left on a coordinate plane?

Back

To move left, you decrease the x-coordinate.

Front

How do you move up on a coordinate plane?

Back

To move up, you increase the y-coordinate.

Front

How do you move down on a coordinate plane?

Back

To move down, you decrease the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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