Coordinate Plane

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a set of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, typically written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point in the coordinate plane?

Back

The quadrant of a point is identified based on the signs of its x and y coordinates. Quadrant I has both positive x and y, Quadrant II has negative x and positive y, Quadrant III has both negative x and y, and Quadrant IV has positive x and negative y.

Front

What quadrant is represented by the coordinates (3, 4)?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

What quadrant is represented by the coordinates (-1, -3)?

Back

Quadrant III.

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are Quadrant I, Quadrant II, Quadrant III, and Quadrant IV.

Front

How do you correctly write an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is correctly written in the form (x, y), where x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the significance of the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface where points are defined by their x and y coordinates, allowing for the representation of geometric shapes and relationships.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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