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), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

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

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal line on the coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical line on the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How many quadrants are there in the coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the first quadrant?

Back

The quadrant where both x and y coordinates are positive (x > 0, y > 0).

Front

What is the second quadrant?

Back

The quadrant where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive (x < 0, y > 0).

Front

What is the third quadrant?

Back

The quadrant where both x and y coordinates are negative (x < 0, y < 0).

Front

What is the fourth quadrant?

Back

The quadrant where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

What is the distance formula?

Back

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).
