Plotting Points on the Coordinate Plane
The coordinate plane is a grid with a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis crossing at the origin (0, 0).
Practice / Learn →Distance on the Coordinate Plane
When two points share a row (same y) or a column (same x), the distance between them is the difference of the coordinates that change, taken as the larger minus the smaller, so a distance is never negative.
Practice / Learn →Finding the Midpoint
The midpoint is the point exactly halfway between two points.
Practice / Learn →Reflections on the Coordinate Plane
A reflection flips a point across an axis like a mirror.
Practice / Learn →Translations on the Coordinate Plane
A translation slides a point a fixed distance in a direction, without turning or flipping it.
Practice / Learn →Slope — Rise over Run
Slope measures how steep a line is: how much it rises (vertical change) for each unit it runs (horizontal change).
Practice / Learn →Graphing Points from a Rule
A rule like "y = x + 2" connects each x to a y.
Practice / Learn →Multi-Step Coordinate Routes
A route is a chain of moves on the grid — plot a start, then apply each step in order (a translation, then maybe a reflection) to find where you end up.
