coordinate Plane

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 position of a point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What are the axes of 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, II, III, and IV, based on the signs of the coordinates.

Front

Which direction does the Y-axis move?

Back

The Y-axis moves north and south.

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 find the distance between two points on the X-axis?

Back

Subtract the x-coordinates of the two points and take the absolute value of the result.

Front

If point S is at (1, 2) and you move 3 units left and 2 units down, what is the new point T?

Back

Point T is at (-2, 0).

Front

What is the formula for calculating the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in Quadrant I?

Back

Both the x-coordinate and y-coordinate are positive.
