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 line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

What are the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates of a point are a pair of numbers (x, y) that define its position on the coordinate plane, where 'x' represents the horizontal distance from the origin and 'y' represents the vertical distance.

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.

Front

How many quadrants are in the coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants in the coordinate plane.

Front

What are the characteristics of Quadrant I?

Back

In Quadrant I, both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What are the characteristics of Quadrant II?

Back

In Quadrant II, the x coordinate is negative and the y coordinate is positive.

Front

What are the characteristics of Quadrant III?

Back

In Quadrant III, both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What are the characteristics of Quadrant IV?

Back

In Quadrant IV, the x coordinate is positive and the y coordinate is negative.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the distance between points (3, -5) and (3, -8)?

Back

The distance is 3 units.
