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 four quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (top right), Quadrant II (top left), Quadrant III (bottom left), and Quadrant IV (bottom right).

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0,0).

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis represents the horizontal line in a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis represents the vertical line in a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, -2) located?

Back

The point (3, -2) is located in Quadrant IV.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-4, 5) located?

Back

The point (-4, 5) is located in Quadrant II.

Front

What is the significance of the coordinates (x, y)?

Back

In the coordinates (x, y), 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the distance from the origin to the point (3, 4)?

Back

The distance from the origin to the point (3, 4) is 5 units.

Front

How do you plot the point (2, 3) on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot (2, 3), move 2 units to the right on the x-axis and 3 units up on the y-axis.
