Coordinate Graphing

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 coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are a pair of numbers (x, y) that define the position of a point on a coordinate plane.

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 (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, -2)?

Back

Move 3 units to the right on the x-axis and 2 units down on the y-axis.

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

Which quadrant contains the point (-3, 4)?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point located 4 units left and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

(-4, 2).

Front

What is the distance between the points (1, 2) and (1, 5)?

Back

The distance is 3 units.
