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 the coordinates of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

How many quadrants are in the coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is Quadrant I?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant II?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant III?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What is Quadrant IV?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative.

Front

How do you find the distance between two points on the same horizontal line?

Back

Subtract the x-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).
