Coordinate Plane Check

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 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

How do you plot the point (4, 9)?

Back

Move 4 units to the right on the x-axis and 9 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-coordinate in the ordered pair (4, 9)?

Back

4

Front

What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (4, 9)?

Back

9

Front

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

Back

Move 4 units to the right on the x-axis and 12 units down on the y-axis.

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent on the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal line on the coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is 0.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis?

Back

The vertical line on the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

If a point has a negative x-coordinate, where is it located?

Back

To the left of the y-axis.
