Coordinate Grid Practice

Front

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

What does the term 'quadrant' refer to in a coordinate grid?

Back

A quadrant refers to one of the four sections of the coordinate grid, divided by the x-axis and y-axis. Quadrants are numbered counterclockwise starting from the upper right as Quadrant I, II, III, and IV.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point located in Quadrant I?

Back

The coordinates of a point in Quadrant I are both positive, for example, (3, 4).

Front

What are the coordinates of a point located in Quadrant II?

Back

The coordinates of a point in Quadrant II have a negative x-value and a positive y-value, for example, (-3, 4).

Front

What are the coordinates of a point located in Quadrant III?

Back

The coordinates of a point in Quadrant III are both negative, for example, (-3, -4).

Front

What are the coordinates of a point located in Quadrant IV?

Back

The coordinates of a point in Quadrant IV have a positive x-value and a negative y-value, for example, (3, -4).

Front

How do you determine the distance between two points on a coordinate grid?

Back

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the distance formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent on a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis and y-axis in a coordinate grid?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line that helps to define the position of points in the coordinate grid.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be six units away from another point?

Back

It means that the distance between the two points, measured along the coordinate grid, is six units.
