Graphing Points Practice

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in a Cartesian plane?

Back

Coordinates are expressed as an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in a point (x, y)?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal distance from the origin (0,0) to the point.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in a point (x, y)?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical distance from the origin (0,0) to the point.

Front

How do you identify a point in the fourth quadrant of the Cartesian plane?

Back

In the fourth quadrant, the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point B if it is located at 3 units right and 4 units down from the origin?

Back

(3, -4)

Front

What is the ordered pair for point C if it is located at 2 units left and 5 units up from the origin?

Back

(-2, 5)

Front

If point D has coordinates (0, -3), where is it located?

Back

Point D is located on the y-axis, 3 units down from the origin.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a Cartesian plane?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Start at the origin, move 4 units to the right (positive x-direction), then move 3 units up (positive y-direction).

Front

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

Back

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
