Coordinate Plane

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

The x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) are the two perpendicular lines that define the coordinate plane.

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point's position on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

The origin, which is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Start at the origin (0, 0), move right 4 units along the x-axis, and then move down 12 units along the y-axis.

Quadrant IV, where x is positive and y is negative.

It indicates the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

It indicates the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

A point in Quadrant II has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate.

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).
