Coordinate Plane Practice

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in the coordinate plane?

Back

Coordinates are a pair of numbers (x, y) that define the position of a point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the coordinates (0, 0).

Front

What are the four quadrants in the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I: (+, +), Quadrant II: (-, +), Quadrant III: (-, -), Quadrant IV: (+, -).

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point with positive x and negative y coordinates?

Back

The point is in Quadrant IV.

Front

What do the x-axis and y-axis represent in the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis represents the horizontal line, while the y-axis represents the vertical line.

Front

What are the coordinates of point A if it is located 4 units right and 3 units up from the origin?

Back

The coordinates of point A are (4, 3).

Front

What are the coordinates of point B if it is located 5 units left and 2 units down from the origin?

Back

The coordinates of point B are (-5, -2).

Front

What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (2, -1)?

Back

The distance is 4 units, as they share the same x-coordinate.

Front

What is the distance between the points (1, 1) and (4, 5)?

Back

The distance is calculated using the distance formula: √((4-1)² + (5-1)²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 units.

Front

What does it mean if a point has negative coordinates?

Back

Negative coordinates indicate that the point is located in Quadrant II or III, depending on which coordinate is negative.
