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 axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The two axes are the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

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 x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point 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 ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

What is the significance of the point (1, 2)?

Back

The point (1, 2) is located 1 unit to the right of the origin and 2 units up.

Front

How do you identify the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in the ordered pair (x, y).

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

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