Rico's coordinate plane

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a vertical line (y-axis) and a horizontal line (x-axis). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers used to locate points on a coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y). The first number represents the x-coordinate, and the second number represents the y-coordinate.

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 ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

How do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in an ordered pair, indicating the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you identify the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in an ordered pair, indicating the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does it mean to move right on a coordinate plane?

Back

Moving right on a coordinate plane means increasing the x-coordinate of a point.

Front

What does it mean to move left on a coordinate plane?

Back

Moving left on a coordinate plane means decreasing the x-coordinate of a point.

Front

What does it mean to move up on a coordinate plane?

Back

Moving up on a coordinate plane means increasing the y-coordinate of a point.

Front

What does it mean to move down on a coordinate plane?

Back

Moving down on a coordinate plane means decreasing the y-coordinate of a point.

Front

If point A is at (2, 0), what is its position on the x-axis?

Back

Point A is 2 units to the right of the origin on the x-axis.
