Coordinate Plane

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).

Front

What are the two axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The position of a point along the x-axis.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The position of a point along the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal line in the coordinate plane where y=0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical line in the coordinate plane where x=0.

Front

How do you identify a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

By using an ordered pair (x, y) where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, 0)?

Back

It is known as the origin and serves as the reference point for all other points.
