What are the names of each axis used on the coordinate plane?

x-axis and y-axis

100

Numbers that are located on opposite sides of 0 and are the same distance from 0 on a number line are called what?

opposite numbers

100

What is the distance between these points?

(-2.75, 8) and (5.5, 8)

8.25 units. Because the y values are the same, we only need to worry about the x values. -2.75 is 2.75 away from 0 and 5.5 is 5.5 away from 0, so in total the points are 8.25 units away from each other.

The absolute value of a number is its distance from ____ on the number line

zero

What is the distance between a whale 43 meters below sea level and someone parasailing 12 meters above sea level? 

55 meters

What's the opposite of -6?

6

200

Brandon used this equation to find the distance between two points. Did he find the distance correctly? Why or why not?

-10 - -3 = -7

The distance is -7 units

No, the answer is 7 units. He should use absolute value to think of -10 as 10 and -3 as 3. 10 and 3 are 7 units apart.

200

Absolute Value is ALWAYS …. (positive / negative) 

POSITIVE 

200

What is the order of these numbers from greatest to least?

37, 20, 16, 2 because absolute value turns all values positive.

300

What are the coordinates for point P?

(3, -2)

300

Order the following rational numbers from greatest to least.

-4, 0.25, -1, 2.5, 1.75, -0.5

2.5, 1.75, 0.25, -0.5, -1, -4

300

What is the distance between the Merry-Go-Round and the Water Slide?

10 units

300

Find the absolute value of -18

18

300

Simplify (what is the value?)

-5. Using absolute value, -5 becomes 5, but the negative symbol outside of the absolute value lines turns it negative again.

400

Which two places on the coordinate plane have the same x-coordinate?

Picnic Area 1 and Picnic Area 4. They both have -0.8 as their x value.

400

Compare the integers using >, < or =

-7 ___ 5

-7 < 5

400

What is the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD?


14 units

400

What is |313|?

313

400

Add.

Using absolute value, the expression becomes

2+1+5+2 = 10

500

The x-coordinate and y-coordinate of Point B are each the opposite of the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of Point A. What is the coordinate of Point B? In which quadrant is Point B located?

(-3, -5), quadrant III

500

What is the opposite of the integer below?

-(-8)

-8. When you have two negatives, that turns the number positive. However, the question is asking what is the opposite of the number, so the opposite of positive 8 is negative 8.

500

What is the perimeter of rectangle JKLM, with vertices J(–1, 3), K(2, 3), L(2, –5), and M(–1, –5)?

22 units (plotting these points would be very helpful)

500

|-24.6| = ?

24.6

500

Subtract.

3, because the absolute value of -6 is 6 and the absolute value of -3 is 3. Therefore, the problem becomes 6-3=3.
