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 x-axis and y-axis?

Back

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

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 point (0,0) represent?

Back

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

Front

How do you read the coordinates (x, y)?

Back

The first number (x) represents the horizontal position, and the second number (y) represents the vertical position.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the starting point for measuring distances on the coordinate plane.

Front

If you move right on the coordinate plane, what happens to the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate increases.

Front

If you move left on the coordinate plane, what happens to the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate decreases.

Front

If you move up on the coordinate plane, what happens to the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate increases.

Front

If you move down on the coordinate plane, what happens to the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate decreases.
