Integers and the coordinate plane

Front

What is an integer?

Back

An integer is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero. Examples include -3, 0, and 5.

Front

What is the absolute value of a number?

Back

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. For example, |-4| = 4 and |4| = 4.

Front

Which integer is less than 0? -5, 0, or 3?

Back

-5 is less than 0.

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

How do you plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point, use its coordinates (x, y). Start at the origin (0, 0), move x units along the x-axis, and then y units up or down along the y-axis.

Front

What does the point (-3, 2) represent on the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (-3, 2) is located 3 units left of the origin and 2 units up.

Front

What is the value of |-7|?

Back

The value of |-7| is 7.

Front

Which is greater: -2 or -5?

Back

-2 is greater than -5 because it is closer to zero on the number line.

Front

What is the range of integers between -3 and 2?

Back

The range of integers between -3 and 2 is -2, -1, 0, 1.

Front

How do you compare two integers?

Back

To compare two integers, determine which is further to the right on the number line. The one further right is greater.
