Graphing on the 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 coordinates of the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

(0,0)

Front

What does the x-axis represent in the coordinate plane?

Back

The horizontal line where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in the coordinate plane?

Back

The vertical line where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How many quadrants are in the coordinate plane?

Back

Four quadrants.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, -2) located?

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-5, 4) located?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

What is the rule for plotting a point (x, y) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Move x units along the x-axis and then y units along the y-axis.

Front

If both coordinates of a point are positive, in which quadrant is it located?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

What is the distance from the origin to the point (3, 4)?

Back

5 units (using the Pythagorean theorem: √(3² + 4²) = 5).
