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.

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).

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.
