Coordinate Points

Front

What are coordinate points?

Back

Coordinate points are pairs of numbers that define a specific location on a coordinate plane, represented as (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The first number in a coordinate pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The second number in a coordinate pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

To plot (3, 4), move 3 units to the right on the x-axis and 4 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is 0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

What are quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrants are the four sections of the coordinate plane, divided by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

What are the coordinates of point A in Quadrant I?

Back

In Quadrant I, the coordinates of point A are positive for both x and y, e.g., (2, 3).

Front

What are the coordinates of point B in Quadrant II?

Back

In Quadrant II, the coordinates of point B have a negative x and a positive y, e.g., (-2, 3).
