Coordinate Plane

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0)

Front

What is the x-axis in the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line that divides the coordinate plane into two halves.

Front

What is the y-axis in the coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line that divides the coordinate plane into two halves.

Front

How do you determine which quadrant a point is in based on its coordinates?

Back

A point (x, y) is in Quadrant I if x > 0 and y > 0, Quadrant II if x < 0 and y > 0, Quadrant III if x < 0 and y < 0, and Quadrant IV if x > 0 and y < 0.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for a point to be on the x-axis?

Back

A point is on the x-axis if its y-coordinate is 0, represented as (x, 0).

Front

What does it mean for a point to be on the y-axis?

Back

A point is on the y-axis if its x-coordinate is 0, represented as (0, y).

Front

What is the significance of the coordinates (1, 2) in the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (1, 2) is located in Quadrant I, where x = 1 and y = 2.

Front

How can you identify the coordinates of a point given its location on the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinates are determined by the horizontal distance from the y-axis (x-value) and the vertical distance from the x-axis (y-value).

Front

What is the distance formula used for in the coordinate plane?

Back

The distance formula is used to calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) as d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).
