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). Each point on the plane is defined by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y).

What does the ordered pair (0, 3) represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

The ordered pair (0, 3) represents a point located at the origin on the x-axis (0) and 3 units up on the y-axis.

How do you find the distance from the origin to the point (3, 4)?

Back

Use the distance formula: distance = √(x² + y²). For (3, 4), distance = √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5.

What is the significance of 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.
