SOL Quick 5 Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface where points are defined by a pair of numerical coordinates (x, y).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) that intersect at the origin.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

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 x-coordinate represent?

Back

The horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot a point (3, 4) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin, move 3 units right (x-axis), then 4 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (2, 7)?

Back

The distance is 4 units (vertical distance on the y-axis).

Front

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

Back

The distance is 3 units (horizontal distance on the x-axis).

Front

What is the vocabulary word for the horizontal line on the bottom of the coordinate plane?

Back

X-axis.
