How do you find the area of a triangle on a coordinate plane?
you count the number of boxes IN the shape.
What is a pair of numbers that indicate the position of a point on the plane?
Coordinate
How do you find the slope of a line on a xy coordinate plane?
Form a right angle triangle under the slope and divide the base of the triangle into the height of the triangle.
What changes the position or orientation of a figure on a coordinate plane?
This is a transformation which could be a rotation, translation or reflection.
Why is the coordinate plane called the Cartesian plane?
The coordinate plane is sometimes call the Cartesian plane because Rene Descartes is often credited with inventing the coordinate plane and so the coordinate plane is sometimes called the Cartesian plane,in his honor.

One of the numbers that describe the position of a point on a plane?
coordinate

What is a coordinate plane that has no breaks in it?
A coordinate plane! If it has one or more breaks in it is not a coordinate plane but only a part of one.
What is the position that is called the preimage?
It is usually a shape, on the coordinate plane, BEFORE a transformation.
What is an abscissa?
An abscissa is the coordinate representing the position of a point along a line perpendicular to the y-axis in a plane Cartesian coordinate system.
Is a coordinate graph the same as a coordinate plane?
no, coordinate graph is a graph made on a coordinate plane i.e xy-plane
What is the process of locating the position of a point on a coordinate plane?
Graphing or plotting.
The vertices of a triangle drawn on a coordinate plane are located at (-3 -4) (-3 5) and (6 -4). What is the area of the triangle?
It is 40.5 square units.
In the xy-plane the y-axis contains all ordered pairs such that?
the x-coordinate is 0, apex :)
