Coordinate Plane

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). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

What are the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane, while the y-axis is the vertical line. They intersect at the origin (0, 0).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

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

What are quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrants are the four sections of the coordinate plane created by the x-axis and y-axis. They are labeled as Quadrant I, II, III, and IV.

Front

How do you find the width of a rectangle if the area and length are known?

Back

To find the width, divide the area by the length. For example, if the area is 36 square meters and the length is 3 meters, the width is 36 ÷ 3 = 12 meters.

Front

What is the distance between two points with the same x-coordinate?

Back

The distance between two points with the same x-coordinate is the absolute difference of their y-coordinates.

Front

What is the distance between points (3, -5) and (3, -8)?

Back

The distance is 3 units, calculated as |-5 - (-8)| = |3| = 3.

Front

Which axis runs horizontally?

Back

The x-axis runs horizontally.

Front

Which axis runs vertically?

Back

The y-axis runs vertically.
