Document Summary
2. 1 distance & midpoint formulas notes: sterling. Provide a generalization to the terms listed in this section. The x-axis is the horizontal line on a cartesian coordinate system. The y-axis is the vertical line on a cartesian coordinate system. An xy-plane is the plane that if formed by both the x-axis and y-axis. The coordinate axes are the x-axis and y-axis. An ordered pair is when you have any point, which is normally expressed by either p or (x, y), in the xy-plane that"s easy to be located. The coordinates are the ordered pairs of (x, y). Plotting is when you are placing dots at certain locations based on their ordered pairs. The x-coordinate, which is also called the abscissa, is the x in a point of (x, y). The y-coordinate, which is also called the ordinate, is the x in a point of (x, y). The quadrants are the four di erent sections on an xy-plane.
