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 axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you plot a point (x,y) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin, move x units along the x-axis, and then y units up or down along the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

It is the starting point for all coordinates in the coordinate plane.

Front

What are quadrants in the coordinate plane?

Back

The four sections created by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

How many quadrants are there in the coordinate plane?

Back

Four quadrants.
