Coordinate Plane and Transformation Vocabulary
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Coordinate Plane | formed by two number lines that intersect forming right angles. |
| Axes | Two number lines in a coordinate plane. |
| x-axis | horizontal axis |
| y-axis | vertical axis |
| Quadrants | four sections made by the two intersecting axes. |
| Origin | point where the two axes intersect. (0,0) |
| Coordinates | the numbers in an ordered pair |
| x-coordinate | the first number in an ordered pair. |
| y-coordinate | the second number in an ordered pair. |
| Transformation | moves a figure without changing its size or shape. |
| Translation | movement of a figure along a straight line |
| Rotation | movement of a figure around a point. |
| Reflection | when a figure flips over a line, creating a mirror image. |
| Line of Reflection | the line a figure is reflected over. |
| Which quadrant has (+,+) as its coordinates | I |
| Which quadrant has (-,-) as its coordinates | III |
| Which quadrant has (-,+) as its coordinates | II |
| Which quadrant has (+,-) as its coordinates | IV |
| How do you plot a point? | Start at the origin and move left or right on the x-axis. Then from that spot, move up or down. |
