Coordinates Flashcards

A pair of numbers (x, y) that describe the position of a point on a graph or grid.

The first number in a coordinate pair, which shows the position along the horizontal axis.

The second number in a coordinate pair, which shows the position along the vertical axis.

The point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect on a graph.

The four sections of a graph divided by the x-axis and y-axis.

The part of the x-axis to the right of the origin.

The part of the y-axis below the origin.

Marking a point on a graph using its coordinates (x, y).

The midpoint of two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2).

The distance between (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²).
