Coordinates

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a two-dimensional plane, typically represented as (x, y).

Front

What does the coordinate (0, 0) represent?

Back

The coordinate (0, 0) represents the origin point in a coordinate plane, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line in a coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line in a coordinate plane.

Front

What are quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrants are the four sections of a coordinate plane, divided by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates of a point are identified by its position relative to the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical), written as (x, y).

Front

What is the significance of the first number in a coordinate pair?

Back

The first number in a coordinate pair represents the position along the x-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the second number in a coordinate pair?

Back

The second number in a coordinate pair represents the position along the y-axis.

Front

If a point has coordinates (3, 4), where is it located?

Back

The point (3, 4) is located 3 units to the right of the origin and 4 units up.

Front

What does a negative x-coordinate indicate?

Back

A negative x-coordinate indicates a position to the left of the origin.
