coordinate plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What does an ordered pair represent in the coordinate plane?

Back

An ordered pair represents a specific point in the coordinate plane, with the first number indicating the x-coordinate (horizontal position) and the second number indicating the y-coordinate (vertical position).

Front

How do you plot the point (4, -12) on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot the point (4, -12), move 4 units to the right along the x-axis and then 12 units down along the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-coordinate in the ordered pair (7, -7)?

Back

The x-coordinate in the ordered pair (7, -7) is 7.

Front

What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (4, 9)?

Back

The y-coordinate in the ordered pair (4, 9) is 9.

Front

In the ordered pair (x, y), which number represents the horizontal position?

Back

The first number, x, represents the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

In the ordered pair (x, y), which number represents the vertical position?

Back

The second number, y, represents the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you move to plot the point (-5, 4)?

Back

To plot the point (-5, 4), move 5 units to the left along the x-axis and then 4 units up along the y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, serving as the reference point for all other points in the coordinate plane.

Front

What quadrant is the point (4, 9) located in?

Back

The point (4, 9) is located in Quadrant I, where both x and y coordinates are positive.
