Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (top right), Quadrant II (top left), Quadrant III (bottom left), Quadrant IV (bottom right).

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are written as (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

What is the distance formula in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in Quadrant I?

Back

Both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in Quadrant II?

Back

The x coordinate is negative and the y coordinate is positive.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in Quadrant III?

Back

Both x and y coordinates are negative.
