2 -6 The Coordinate Plane Vocabulary coordinate plane A plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line called the x-axis and a vertical number line called the yaxis. axes The two perpendicular lines of a coordinate plane that intersect at the origin. x-axis The horizontal axis on a coordinate plane. Holt CA Course 1

2 -6 The Coordinate Plane Vocabulary Continued y-axis The vertical axis on a coordinate plane. quadrants The four regions formed when x- and y-axes divide the coordinate plane. origin The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect on the coordinate plane; (0, 0). Holt CA Course 1

2 -6 The Coordinate Plane Vocabulary Continued coordinates The numbers of an ordered pair that locate a point on a coordinate graph. x-coordinate The first number in an ordered pair; it tells the distance to move right or left from the origin. y-coordinate The second number in a ordered pair; it tells the distance to move up or down from the origin. Holt CA Course 1

2 -6 The Coordinate Plane A coordinate plane is formed by two number lines in a plane that intersect at right angles. The point of intersection is the zero on each number line. • The two number lines are called the axes. Holt CA Course 1

2 -6 The Coordinate Plane An ordered pair gives the location of a point on a coordinate plane. The first number tells how far to move right (positive) or left (negative) from the origin. The second number tells how far to move up (positive) or down (negative). The numbers in an ordered pair are called coordinates. The first number is called the x -coordinate. The second number is called the y-coordinate. The ordered pair for the origin is (0, 0). Holt CA Course 1
