Coordinate Planes

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 x-coordinate and y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

In an ordered pair (x, y), the x-coordinate represents the horizontal position, and the y-coordinate represents the vertical position.

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 ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

What does the ordered pair (3, 4) represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

The ordered pair (3, 4) represents a point that is 3 units to the right of the origin and 4 units up.

Front

How do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in the ordered pair (x, y).

Front

How do you identify the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in the ordered pair (x, y).

Front

What are the coordinates of point A if it is located 2 units left and 3 units up from the origin?

Back

The coordinates of point A would be (-2, 3).

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, 1) in a coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0, 1) is located on the y-axis, 1 unit above the origin.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative x-coordinate?

Back

A negative x-coordinate means the point is located to the left of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative y-coordinate?

Back

A negative y-coordinate means the point is located below the origin on the y-axis.
