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 an ordered pair represent?

Back

An ordered pair represents a specific point on a coordinate plane, where the first number indicates the position along the x-axis and the second number indicates the position along the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero. It is used to measure the horizontal position of points.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero. It is used to measure the vertical position of points.

Front

How do you identify a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

A point is identified by its coordinates, written as an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' is the distance from the y-axis and 'y' is the distance from the x-axis.

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 ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair indicate?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair indicates the position along the x-axis.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair indicate?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair indicates the position along the y-axis.

Front

If a point is at (4, 5), what does this mean?

Back

This means the point is 4 units to the right of the origin and 5 units up from the origin.

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, 0)?

Back

The point (0, 0) is significant because it is the origin of the coordinate plane, where both x and y values are zero.
