Coordinate Plane - 6th Grade

Front

What is the definition of an ordered pair in the coordinate plane?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to represent a point in the coordinate plane, typically written in the form (x, y), where x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate.

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).

Front

In the ordered pair (x, y), what does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

In the ordered pair (x, y), what does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 5) on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot the point (3, 5), move 3 units to the right on the x-axis and 5 units up on the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

The distance formula is d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane?

Back

A point is in the first quadrant if both its x-coordinate and y-coordinate are positive.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the third quadrant of the coordinate plane?

Back

A point is in the third quadrant if both its x-coordinate and y-coordinate are negative.

Front

How do you determine the coordinates of a point that is 4 units to the left and 3 units down from the origin?

Back

The coordinates would be (-4, -3).

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis and y-axis in the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line that represents the x-coordinates, while the y-axis is the vertical line that represents the y-coordinates.
