Answer the following questions.
1. In your own words, describe the following:
a.) Cartesian Coordinate System
b.) The uses of the system
c.) Who developed the system?
d.) Historically, why is the system unique?
2. Use the list below to write the correct term for each definition on the line provided.
axes (of a graph), coordinates, coordinate grid, intersection, number line, ordered pair, origin quadrant, x-axis, x-coordinate y-axis y-coordinate
a.) the first number of an ordered pair
b.) the second number of an ordered pair
c.) any of four regions formed by the axes in a rectangular coordinate system
d.) the point at which two lines meet
e.) numbers that correspond to points on a graph in the form (x, y)
f.) the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis in a coordinate plane, described by (0,0)
g.) the horizontal and vertical number lines used in a rectangular graph or coordinate grid system as a fixed reference for determining the position of a point
h.) the vertical ( ) axis on a coordinate plane
i.) the horizontal ( ) axis on a coordinate plane
j.) a line on which numbers can be written or visualized
k.) the location of a single point on a rectangular coordinate system where the digits represent the position relative to the x-axis and y-axis Example: (x, y) or (3, 4)
l.) network of evenly spaced, parallel horizontal and vertical lines especially designed for locating points, displaying data, or drawing maps
