Coordinate Grids Test

Front

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane 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.

Front

What are the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are identified as an ordered pair (X,Y), where X represents the horizontal position and Y represents the vertical position.

Front

What does the term 'ordered pair' mean?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (X,Y).

Front

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

Back

To find the distance between two points, use the distance formula: Distance = |x2 - x1| + |y2 - y1|.

Front

What is the distance between the points (2,6) and (5,6)?

Back

The distance is 3 units.

Front

Which direction is east located on a coordinate grid?

Back

East is located to the right on a coordinate grid.

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is used to visually represent and locate points, lines, and shapes in a two-dimensional space.

Front

How do you plot a point on a coordinate grid?

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.
