Coordinate Plane and Quadrants

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

How do you plot the point (-2, -6)?

Back

Move left 2 units on the x-axis and down 6 units on the y-axis.

Front

Which axis is horizontal?

Back

The x-axis.

Front

Which axis is vertical?

Back

The y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented as (0, 0).

Front

What does it mean for a point to be on the x-axis?

Back

The y-coordinate of the point is 0, meaning it lies horizontally along the x-axis.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be on the y-axis?

Back

The x-coordinate of the point is 0, meaning it lies vertically along the y-axis.

Front

How do you find the distance between two points (A and B) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Use the distance formula: Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What is the distance between the points (1, 2) and (1, 6)?

Back

The distance is 4 units.
