Cartesian Coordinate Plane

Front

What are the four quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

Front

What is the origin in the Cartesian coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis in relation to the y-coordinate?

Back

The x-axis represents the value of y = 0.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis in relation to the x-coordinate?

Back

The y-axis represents the value of x = 0.
