Coordinate Plane

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). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The two axes in a coordinate plane are the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

How do you plot the point (4, 7)?

Back

To plot the point (4, 7), start at the origin (0, 0), move 4 units to the right along the x-axis, and then move 7 units up along the y-axis.

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

Where is the origin located on the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, 0)?

Back

The point (0, 0) is called the origin and serves as the reference point for all other points on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical line on the coordinate plane where all points have an x-coordinate of 0.

Front

What is the X-axis?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane where all points have a y-coordinate of 0.
