Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the definition of the X-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal line in a coordinate plane where the Y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the definition of the Y-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical line in a coordinate plane where the X-coordinate is zero.

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the location of a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

A point is identified by its coordinates (x, y), where 'x' indicates the horizontal position and 'y' indicates the vertical position.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the first quadrant of a coordinate plane?

Back

A point is in the first quadrant if both its x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the second quadrant of a coordinate plane?

Back

A point is in the second quadrant if its x coordinate is negative and its y coordinate is positive.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the third quadrant of a coordinate plane?

Back

A point is in the third quadrant if both its x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the fourth quadrant of a coordinate plane?

Back

A point is in the fourth quadrant if its x coordinate is positive and its y coordinate is negative.

Front

How do you calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) on a coordinate plane?

Back

The distance can be calculated using the formula: Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

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

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the X-axis and Y-axis intersect.
