Plotting Points and the 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 plot points.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that define the position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position of the point.

Front

What does the second number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position of the point.

Front

In which quadrant does the point (4, -3) lie?

Back

Quadrant 4.

Front

In which quadrant does the point (-4, 1) lie?

Back

Quadrant 2.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal line on the coordinate plane where y=0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical line on the coordinate plane where x=0.

Front

What are the coordinates of point D if it is located at (-3, -2)?

Back

(-3, -2).

Front

What are the coordinates of point I if it is located at (-2, 5)?

Back

(-2, 5).
