What is a coordinate grid?

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional system used in mathematics to locate points. It consists of two perpendicular number lines, called the x-axis and y-axis, that intersect at a point called the origin. Points on the grid are identified by their x-coordinate (horizontal position) and y-coordinate (vertical position), allowing for precise location and visualization of data or geometric shapes.

What are the two axes on a coordinate grid?

The two axes on a coordinate grid are the horizontal axis, also known as the x-axis, and the vertical axis, known as the y-axis. These axes intersect at the origin point (0,0) and are used to locate and plot points in a two-dimensional space.

How is a point plotted on a coordinate grid?

To plot a point on a coordinate grid, you identify the x-coordinate (horizontal position) and the y-coordinate (vertical position) of the point. You then locate these coordinates on the grid by moving along the x-axis and up or down the y-axis to find the specific intersection point where they meet, marking the point's position with a dot.

What is the origin of a coordinate grid?

The coordinate grid was developed by René Descartes in the 17th century. Descartes introduced the idea of using an x-axis and a y-axis to locate points on a plane, which laid the foundation for modern cartesian coordinate systems used in mathematics and physics.

What are the four quadrants on a coordinate grid?

The four quadrants on a coordinate grid are named based on their locations relative to the origin (0, 0). They are the first quadrant (top right), second quadrant (top left), third quadrant (bottom left), and fourth quadrant (bottom right). Each quadrant is defined by a combination of positive and negative values for the x and y axes.

How can you determine the distance between two points on a coordinate grid?

To determine the distance between two points on a coordinate grid, you can use the distance formula, which is \(\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}\), where \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) are the coordinates of the two points. Simply plug in the coordinates into the formula, subtract them accordingly, square the differences, add them together, and finally, take the square root of the sum to find the distance between the two points.

What is a line of symmetry on a coordinate grid?

A line of symmetry on a coordinate grid is a line that divides a figure into two congruent halves that are mirror images of each other. This line reflects each point across the line to create symmetry in the figure.

How can you determine if two lines on a coordinate grid are parallel or perpendicular?

To determine if two lines on a coordinate grid are parallel, check if their slopes are equal. If the slopes are the same, then the lines are parallel. To determine if two lines are perpendicular, calculate the slopes of the two lines. If the product of their slopes is -1, then the lines are perpendicular.

How can you graph linear equations on a coordinate grid?

To graph a linear equation on a coordinate grid, start by isolating the y variable in the equation to get it in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Plot the y-intercept on the y-axis. Then, use the slope to find the next points by moving up or down based on the rise (numerator of the slope) and then right or left based on the run (denominator of the slope). Connect the points to draw the line representing the linear equation on the coordinate grid.

How can you determine the slope and y-intercept of a line on a coordinate grid?

To determine the slope and y-intercept of a line on a coordinate grid, first identify two points on the line. Then, calculate the slope by dividing the difference in the y-coordinates by the difference in the x-coordinates of the two points. Next, use the point-slope form of a linear equation (y=mx+b) where 'm' represents the slope. Finally, once you have the slope and one of the points, substitute those values into the equation to solve for 'b', which represents the y-intercept.
