Plotting Points on the Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What are the coordinates of a point?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that define the position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal number line on the coordinate plane where y=0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical number line on the coordinate plane where x=0.

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (x>0, y>0), Quadrant II (x<0, y>0), Quadrant III (x<0, y<0), Quadrant IV (x>0, y<0).

Front

In which quadrant is point (3, -2) located?

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

In which quadrant is point (-3, 2) located?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the distance formula between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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