Front

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). Each point on the plane is defined by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The first number in a coordinate pair represents the horizontal position on the x-axis.

Front

What does the second number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The second number in a coordinate pair represents the vertical position on the y-axis.

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 identify the location of a point (x, y) on a coordinate plane?

Back

To identify the location of a point (x, y), start at the origin, move x units along the x-axis, and then move y units up (if y is positive) or down (if y is negative).

Front

What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (2, 5)?

Back

The distance is 2 units, as they are vertically aligned on the same x-coordinate.

Front

What is the distance between the points (3, 4) and (6, 4)?

Back

The distance is 3 units, as they are horizontally aligned on the same y-coordinate.

Front

What is a quadrant in a coordinate plane?

Back

A quadrant is one of the four sections of the coordinate plane, divided by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located in the first quadrant?

Back

In the first quadrant, both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located in the second quadrant?

Back

In the second quadrant, x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.
