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 does the ordered pair (x, y) represent?

Back

The ordered pair (x, y) represents the position of a point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal distance from the origin and 'y' is the vertical distance from the origin.

Front

How do you find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane?

Back

To find the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), use the distance formula: Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin on a coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the first quadrant?

Back

A point is in the first quadrant if both its x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the second quadrant?

Back

A point is in the second quadrant if its x coordinate is negative and its y coordinate is positive.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the third quadrant?

Back

A point is in the third quadrant if both its x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the fourth quadrant?

Back

A point is in the fourth quadrant if its x coordinate is positive and its y coordinate is negative.
