How do you find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane?

Back

Use the distance formula: Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are written as (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

How do you determine which quadrant a point is in?

Back

Look at the signs of the x and y coordinates: (+,+) is Quadrant I, (-,+) is Quadrant II, (-,-) is Quadrant III, (+,-) is Quadrant IV.
