Coordinate Plane 8.24

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).

Front

What are the coordinates of a point?

Back

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

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line on the coordinate plane.

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 coordinates (0, 0).

Front

How do you identify a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

To identify a point, you use its coordinates (x, y), where 'x' is the distance from the y-axis and 'y' is the distance from the x-axis.

Front

What is the distance between two points on the coordinate plane?

Back

The distance can be calculated using the distance formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What is a quadrant in the coordinate plane?

Back

A quadrant is one of the four sections of the coordinate plane, divided by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

What are the coordinates of point A in quadrant I?

Back

In quadrant I, both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of point B in quadrant II?

Back

In quadrant II, the x coordinate is negative and the y coordinate is positive.
