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).

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a coordinate plane, usually written as (x, y).

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 coordinates (0, 0).

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line in a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line in a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How do you read coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are read as (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What are negative coordinates?

Back

Negative coordinates are values that lie to the left of the y-axis or below the x-axis on a coordinate plane.

Front

What are positive coordinates?

Back

Positive coordinates are values that lie to the right of the y-axis or above the x-axis on a coordinate plane.

Front

What quadrant is point (3, 2) located in?

Back

Point (3, 2) is located in Quadrant I, where both x and y are positive.
