How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

By using an ordered pair (x, y) where 'x' is the horizontal distance from the origin and 'y' is the vertical distance from the origin.

What is the significance of the signs in coordinates?

Back

Positive x-values indicate points to the right of the origin, negative x-values indicate points to the left; positive y-values indicate points above the origin, negative y-values indicate points below.

What is the distance formula in the coordinate plane?

Back

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

How do you plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin, move 'x' units along the x-axis, and then 'y' units up or down along the y-axis.
