Front

What is the definition of a coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

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

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units right (x-coordinate), then move 4 units up (y-coordinate).
