Graphing points on the coordinate plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface where points are defined by a pair of numbers (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair (x, y) represent?

Back

The x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair (x, y) represent?

Back

The y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot the point (2, -5)?

Back

Move 2 units to the right on the x-axis and 5 units down on the y-axis.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the origin point?

Back

(0, 0) is the origin point on the coordinate plane.

Front

If a point has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate, where is it located?

Back

In the second quadrant of the coordinate plane.

Front

If a point has a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate, where is it located?

Back

In the fourth quadrant of the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the distance between the points (3, 2) and (3, -1)?

Back

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

Front

What is the distance between the points (4, 5) and (1, 5)?

Back

The distance is 3 units, moving horizontally along the x-axis.

Front

What does it mean if two points have the same x-coordinate?

Back

They are vertically aligned on the coordinate plane.
