Coordinate Plane and Order of Operations

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). Each point on the plane is defined by an ordered pair (x, y).

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: 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

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are written as an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the order of operations in mathematics?

Back

The order of operations is a set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). This is often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS.

Front

What does the term 'exponent' mean?

Back

An exponent is a number that shows how many times a base is multiplied by itself. For example, in 3^4, 3 is the base and 4 is the exponent.
