Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the definition of the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line (x-axis) and a vertical number line (y-axis).

Front

What are the two axes in the coordinate plane called?

Back

The two axes are called the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

What is the purpose of the x-axis in the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is used to represent the horizontal position of points in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the purpose of the y-axis in the coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis is used to represent the vertical position of points in the coordinate plane.

Front

How is a point represented in the coordinate plane?

Back

A point is represented by an ordered pair (x, y), where x is the position on the x-axis and y is the position on the y-axis.

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the first quadrant in the coordinate plane?

Back

The first quadrant is where both x and y coordinates are positive, indicating points located in the upper right section of the coordinate plane.

Front

What are the coordinates of point E if it is located at (0, 2)?

Back

Point E is located on the y-axis, 2 units above the origin.

Front

What is the relationship between the x-axis and y-axis in the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis and y-axis are perpendicular to each other and divide the coordinate plane into four quadrants.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in the third quadrant?

Back

In the third quadrant, both x and y coordinates are negative.
