Patterns and the Coordinate Plane Review

Front

What is a pattern in mathematics?

Back

A pattern is a repeated or predictable sequence of numbers, shapes, or other elements.

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

The 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 does the ordered pair (x,y) represent?

Back

The ordered pair (x,y) represents a specific point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you graph the point (2,3)?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 2 units to the right on the x-axis, and then move 3 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is a linear pattern?

Back

A linear pattern is a sequence of numbers that increases or decreases by a constant amount.

Front

What is the difference between a pattern and a rule?

Back

A pattern is a sequence, while a rule is a specific instruction on how to create or continue that sequence.

Front

What does it mean to 'multiply by 5'?

Back

To 'multiply by 5' means to take a number and increase it by a factor of 5.
