What is a coordinate in a Cartesian plane?

Back

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

Back

One less than ten is 9.

Front

What is the origin in a Cartesian plane?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line in a Cartesian plane where y=0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line in a Cartesian plane where x=0.

Front

What does it mean for a number to be squared?

Back

Squaring a number means multiplying the number by itself.

Front

What is the difference between positive and negative coordinates?

Back

Positive coordinates are located in the first and fourth quadrants, while negative coordinates are located in the second and third quadrants of the Cartesian plane.
