Graded - Coordinate Plane and Graphing

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 locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

A pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

By using its ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' indicates the horizontal position and 'y' indicates the vertical position.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the significance of the point (2, 3)?

Back

It represents a specific location on the coordinate plane, where '2' is the x-coordinate and '3' is the y-coordinate.

Front

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

Back

The distance can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: √(3² + 4²) = 5.

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

The four sections created by the x-axis and y-axis: Quadrant I (positive x, positive y), Quadrant II (negative x, positive y), Quadrant III (negative x, negative y), Quadrant IV (positive x, negative y).

Front

What is the purpose of graphing points on a coordinate plane?

Back

To visually represent relationships between variables and to solve mathematical problems.
