Coordianate plane
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Coordinate plane | a plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line with a vertical number line. |
| Coordinate system | A method of representing points in a space of given dimensions by coordinates |
| Coordinates | the pairs of numbers which specify the position or location of a point |
| Axis | The vertical and horizontal lines that make up the quadrants of a coordinate plane. |
| X-axis | The line on a graph that runs horizontally (left-right) through zero |
| X-coordinate | The horizontal value in a pair of coordinates |
| Y-axis | The line on a graph that runs vertically (up-down) through zero |
| Y-coordinate | The vertical value in a pair of coordinates. How far up or down the point is. |
| Ordered pair | Set of two numbers in which the order has an agreed-upon meaning, such as the Cartesian coordinates (x, y), where the first coordinate represents the horizontal position, and the second coordinate represents the vertical position. |
| Origin | The point (0, 0) on a coordinate plane, where the x-axis and the y-axis intersect. |
| Perpendicular lines | Two intersecting lines have four right angles formed at the |
| Plane | A flat surface that stretches into infinity. |
| Quadrants | One of the quarters of the plane of the Cartesian coordinate system |
| horizontal | left/right side to side |
| vertiacal | up/down |
| distance | from one location to another |
