Coordinate Plane 8.24

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).

Front

What are the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

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

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 a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

A point is identified by its coordinates (x, y), where 'x' is the position on the x-axis and 'y' is the position on the y-axis.

Front

What does the point (2, 5) represent on the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (2, 5) is located 2 units to the right of the origin and 5 units up.

Front

Which axis is a vertical number line?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line.

Front

Which axis is a horizontal number line?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line.

Front

What are quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is the distance formula between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The distance formula is d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

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

Back

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