Term | Definition |
---|---|
congruent line segments | line segments that have equal length |
between | the position of a point that has collinear points on either side; if point B is between points A and C, then the length of AB plus the length of BC equals the length of AC |
coordinate | a number on a number line or axis, giving the location of a point |
length of a line segment | the distance between the segment’s endpoints |
number line | a line for which every point corresponds to a real number and every real number corresponds to a point |
x-axis | the horizontal number line in a coordinate plane |
x-coordinate | the first number in an ordered pair of numbers that designates the location of a point on the coordinate plane; also called abscissa |
y-axis | the vertical number line in a coordinate plane |
y-coordinate | the second number in an ordered pair of numbers that designates the location of a point on the coordinate plane; also called ordinate |
coordinate plane | a plane in which the coordinates of a point are its distances from two intersecting perpendicular lines called axes |
