Coordinate Plane

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), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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.

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent?

Back

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

Front

How do you plot the point (4, -12)?

Back

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

Front

What quadrant is the point (4, -6) located in?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the x-coordinate?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the y-coordinate?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify a point in Quadrant II?

Back

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

Front

What is the distance formula between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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