FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
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). Each point on the plane is defined by an ordered pair (x, y).
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does an ordered pair represent?
Back
An ordered pair (x, y) represents a specific point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you plot a point on a coordinate plane?
Back
To plot a point (x, y), start at the origin (0, 0). Move 'x' units along the x-axis (right for positive, left for negative) and then 'y' units up (positive) or down (negative) along the y-axis.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the x-axis?
Back
The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero. It is used to measure the horizontal position of points.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the y-axis?
Back
The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero. It is used to measure the vertical position of points.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are quadrants in a coordinate plane?
Back
The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants: Quadrant I (positive x, positive y), Quadrant II (negative x, positive y), Quadrant III (negative x, negative y), Quadrant IV (positive x, negative y).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the origin in a coordinate plane?
Back
The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect. It serves as the reference point for all other points on the plane.
