What are coordinates in a coordinate plane?

Back

Coordinates are a pair of numbers that define the position of a point on a grid, usually written as (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 (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

How do you identify a point in the first quadrant?

Back

A point in the first quadrant has both x and y coordinates that are positive.

Front

What does a negative y-coordinate indicate?

Back

A negative y-coordinate indicates a position below the x-axis.

Front

What does a negative x-coordinate indicate?

Back

A negative x-coordinate indicates a position to the left of the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

The point (0, 0) represents the origin, which is the starting point for measuring coordinates.

Front

How do you represent a point that is 3 units to the right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

The point would be represented as (3, 2).

Front

What does it mean for a temperature to be below zero?

Back

A temperature below zero indicates that it is colder than the freezing point of water.
