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).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The two axes 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

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

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point?

Back

The quadrant of a point is determined by the signs of its coordinates: Quadrant I (positive, positive), Quadrant II (negative, positive), Quadrant III (negative, negative), Quadrant IV (positive, negative).

Front

What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (2, 7)?

Back

The distance is 4 units, as they have the same x-coordinate.

Front

What is the distance between the points (1, 1) and (4, 5)?

Back

The distance is approximately 5 units, calculated using the distance formula.

Front

What is a point?

Back

A point is a specific location on the coordinate plane, represented by an ordered pair (x, y).
