Coordinate Planes

What does the x-axis represent?

• The vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

• The horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

• The diagonal line on a coordinate plane that represents the slope.

• The line that represents the maximum value on a coordinate plane.

What is the significance of the first number in an ordered pair?

• It represents the position along the y-axis.

• It represents the position along the x-axis.

• It indicates the magnitude of the pair.

• It shows the relationship between the two numbers.

What quadrant is located at (2, -6)?

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV

What is a coordinate plane?

• A three-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of three lines.

• A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

• A type of graph used only for linear equations.

• A mathematical concept that only exists in theoretical physics.

What is an ordered pair?

• A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

• A single number that represents a location on a number line.

• A set of three numbers that defines a point in three-dimensional space.

• A pair of letters used to represent a point in a graph.

How do you identify a point on the coordinate plane?

• Start at the origin (0,0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

• Identify the point by its color on the graph.

• Use a ruler to measure the distance from the origin to the point.

• Draw a line from the point to the origin and measure the angle.

What is the significance of the second number in an ordered pair?

• It represents the position along the x-axis.

• It represents the position along the y-axis.

• It indicates the distance from the origin.

• It determines the quadrant of the coordinate plane.

What quadrant is located at (5, 3)?

What does the y-axis represent?

• The horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

• The vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

• The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

• The line that represents the slope of a graph.

What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (2, 7)?

• 2 units

• 3 units
