Coordinate Plane

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line. They intersect at the origin (0,0).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

How many quadrants are in a coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants in a coordinate plane, numbered I, II, III, and IV, starting from the upper right and moving counterclockwise.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, -2) located?

Back

The point (3, -2) is located in Quadrant IV.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-4, 5) located?

Back

The point (-4, 5) is located in Quadrant II.

Front

What is the y-coordinate of the point (7, 3)?

Back

The y-coordinate of the point (7, 3) is 3.
