Graph Points on the Coordinate Plane Unit Test Review

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface where points are defined by a pair of numbers (x, y), representing horizontal and vertical positions.

Front

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

Back

The x-coordinate indicates the horizontal position, and the y-coordinate indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move right or left according to the x-coordinate, and then move up or down according to the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

If a point has coordinates (5, 9), how many units do you move right and up?

Back

Move 5 units to the right and 9 units up from the origin.

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the point (3, 2)?

Back

3

Front

What is the y-coordinate of the point (3, 2)?

Back

2

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a graph?

Back

Locate the point's position by finding its horizontal (x) and vertical (y) distances from the origin.

Front

What is the distance from the origin to the point (9, 0)?

Back

9 units to the right.

Front

What is the distance from the origin to the point (0, 9)?

Back

9 units up.
