Identify Points on the Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What are the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane, while the y-axis is the vertical line.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How are ordered pairs written?

Back

Ordered pairs are written in the format (x, y), where x is the value on the x-axis and y is the value on the y-axis.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be on the y-axis?

Back

A point is on the y-axis if its x-coordinate is 0.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be on the x-axis?

Back

A point is on the x-axis if its y-coordinate is 0.

Front

What are the four quadrants of the 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

How do you determine the quadrant of a point?

Back

By examining the signs of the x and y coordinates: both positive in Quadrant I, x negative and y positive in Quadrant II, both negative in Quadrant III, and x positive and y negative in Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point E if it is located at -3 on the x-axis and 0 on the y-axis?

Back

The ordered pair for point E is (-3, 0).

Front

What is the ordered pair for point K if it is located at 3 on the x-axis and -3 on the y-axis?

Back

The ordered pair for point K is (3, -3).
