The two number lines that intersect at right angles to form a coordinate plane are the x-axis and the y-axis. The x-axis runs horizontally, representing the horizontal values (or independent variable), while the y-axis runs vertically, representing the vertical values (or dependent variable). Their intersection point is known as the origin, designated as (0,0). Together, they create a grid that allows for the representation of points, lines, and shapes in a two-dimensional space.
Coordinate Plane
they are perpendicular.
Cartesian coordinate system
Lines that intersect right angles (ninety-degree angles) are described as perpendicular.
If two lines intersect at right angles then they are perpendicular!
Coordinate Plane
they are perpendicular.
a coordinate plane
Think about it, the x & y planes intersect and what one number has both, the x & y planes intersect. 0 on the coordinate plane is the, origin.
Perpendicular lines form right angles when they intersect.
