Coordinate Plane & Plotting Points

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line (x-axis) and a vertical number line (y-axis).

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

A pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the coordinates (0, 0).

Front

What are quadrants in the coordinate plane?

Back

The four sections created by the x-axis and y-axis, labeled as Quadrant I, II, III, and IV.

Front

Which quadrant contains the point (3, -2)?

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot the point (4, 3) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 4 units to the right (x-axis), and then 3 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the distance between the points (1, 2) and (1, 5)?

Back

The distance is 3 units, measured vertically along the y-axis.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in Quadrant II?

Back

The x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.
