Coordinate Plane

The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Coordinates of a point are identified as an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position.

The distance formula is d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

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

To plot (4, -6), move 4 units to the right on the x-axis and 6 units down on the y-axis.

The coordinates of the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis are (0, 0), known as the origin.

The point is located in Quadrant II.

The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line that divides the coordinate plane into four quadrants.
