Front

What is an ordered pair in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What does the term 'less than' mean in mathematics?

Back

'Less than' indicates that one number is smaller than another number. For example, -24 is less than -18.

Front

How do you find the greatest common factor (GCF) of two numbers?

Back

To find the GCF, list the factors of each number and identify the largest factor that they have in common.

Front

What is the distance formula used for in coordinate geometry?

Back

The distance formula calculates the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) using the formula: √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What is the opposite of a number?

Back

The opposite of a number is the number that is the same distance from zero on the number line but in the opposite direction. For example, the opposite of -9 is 9.

Front

What does it mean for a number to be 'greater than' another number?

Back

'Greater than' indicates that one number is larger than another number. For example, -18 is greater than -24.

Front

How can you represent a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

A point on a coordinate plane is represented by an ordered pair (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis and y-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line. They intersect at the origin (0, 0) and help define the location of points.

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).

Front

How do you determine the GCF of 24 and 36?

Back

The GCF of 24 and 36 is 12, as it is the largest number that divides both 24 and 36 evenly.
