Coordinate plane review

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

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.

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent the coordinates of a point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What are the axes in the coordinate plane?

Back

The two perpendicular lines that define the coordinate plane: the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

What are quadrants in the coordinate plane?

Back

The four sections created by the x-axis and y-axis, labeled as Quadrant I, Quadrant II, Quadrant III, and Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point?

Back

By looking at the signs of the x and y coordinates: Quadrant I (positive, positive), Quadrant II (negative, positive), Quadrant III (negative, negative), Quadrant IV (positive, negative).

Front

What is the ordered pair for point A located at (2, 4)?

Back

(2, 4) is the ordered pair for point A.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point C located at (3, 4)?

Back

(3, 4) is the ordered pair for point C.

Front

What is the significance of the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate indicates the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the significance of the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate indicates the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.
