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.

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

Front

What is the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in an ordered pair, representing the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in an ordered pair, representing the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you identify a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

To identify a point, start at the origin (0,0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

Front

What does the point (0,0) represent?

Back

The point (0,0) is called the origin, and it is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

What is the significance of negative coordinates?

Back

Negative coordinates indicate positions to the left of the origin on the x-axis and below the origin on the y-axis.

Front

What is the coordinate of point N if it is located at (6,6)?

Back

The coordinate of point N is (6,6).

Front

What letter corresponds to the coordinate (8,5)?

Back

The letter corresponding to the coordinate (8,5) is D.

Front

What is the coordinate of point R if it is located at (0,1)?

Back

The coordinate of point R is (0,1).
