Rectangular Coordinate System
A two-dimensional grid formed by perpendicular horizontal and vertical number lines, used to plot locations with two values.
Cartesian Plane
A diagram with intersecting x and y axes, dividing space into four regions for plotting points with ordered pairs.
X Axis
The horizontal number line in a two-dimensional grid, representing the first value in an ordered pair.
Y Axis
The vertical number line in a two-dimensional grid, representing the second value in an ordered pair.
Origin
The intersection point of the x and y axes, located at 0,0, serving as the reference for all coordinates.
Ordered Pair
A set of two numbers in parentheses, indicating a specific location on a grid using x and y values.
Quadrant
One of four regions created by the x and y axes, each with distinct combinations of positive and negative values.
Linear Equation
An algebraic expression involving two variables, whose solutions are points that satisfy the relationship when substituted.
Solution
A set of values for variables that makes an equation true when substituted, often represented as an ordered pair.
Coordinate
A numerical value indicating position along an axis, used in pairs to specify locations on a grid.
Table
A structured arrangement of values for variables, used to organize and complete ordered pair solutions.
Standard Form
A way of writing equations with variables and constants arranged in a specific order, aiding in analysis and graphing.
Coefficient
A numerical factor multiplying a variable in an equation, influencing the slope or steepness of a line.
Degree
The highest exponent of a variable in a polynomial, indicating the complexity of the equation.
Intersection
The point where two axes cross, dividing the plane into four regions and serving as the reference for coordinates.
