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). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

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), where x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate.

In the ordered pair (7, 8), which number is the x-coordinate?

In the ordered pair (7, 8), which number is the y-coordinate?

Back

8

What does the x-axis represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-axis represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Which axis runs vertically?

X-axis

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 ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

How do you identify a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

A point is identified by its coordinates (x, y), where x is the distance from the origin along the x-axis and y is the distance from the origin along the y-axis.
