Coordinate Planes Review

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 of numbers (x, y).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The two axes in a coordinate plane are the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical). They intersect at the origin (0, 0).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

The coordinates of a point are identified as an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position.

Front

What does a positive x-coordinate indicate?

Back

A positive x-coordinate indicates that the point is located to the right of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What does a negative x-coordinate indicate?

Back

A negative x-coordinate indicates that the point is located to the left of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What does a positive y-coordinate indicate?

Back

A positive y-coordinate indicates that the point is located above the origin on the y-axis.

Front

What does a negative y-coordinate indicate?

Back

A negative y-coordinate indicates that the point is located below the origin on the y-axis.

Front

How do you plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

Front

What are quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants: Quadrant I (positive x, positive y), Quadrant II (negative x, positive y), Quadrant III (negative x, negative y), Quadrant IV (positive x, negative y).
