Graphing on a coordinate plane

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). Each point on the plane is defined by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y).

Front

What does the ordered pair (x, y) represent?

Back

In the ordered pair (x, y), 'x' represents the horizontal position (left or right) and 'y' represents the vertical position (up or down) on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot the point (4, -12) on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot (4, -12), move 4 units to the right on the x-axis and then 12 units down on the y-axis.

Front

What are the coordinates of POINT C if it is located in the second quadrant?

Back

The coordinates of POINT C in the second quadrant are (-2, 4).

Front

What shape is formed by the points (-6, -5), (-4, 0), and (-2, -5)?

Back

The shape formed by these points is a triangle.

Front

Which letter corresponds to the coordinate (4, -6)?

Back

The letter that corresponds to the coordinate (4, -6) is Z.

Front

What are the coordinates for POINT I if it is located in the third quadrant?

Back

The coordinates for POINT I in the third quadrant are (-2, -5).

Front

What is the x-coordinate in the ordered pair (3, 7)?

Back

The x-coordinate in the ordered pair (3, 7) is 3.

Front

What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (-5, 2)?

Back

The y-coordinate in the ordered pair (-5, 2) is 2.

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of the point (4, -3)?

Back

The point (4, -3) is in the fourth quadrant because the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.
