Plotting Coordinates in All 4 Quadrants

Front

What does a negative x-coordinate indicate in terms of movement on a coordinate plane?

Back

A negative x-coordinate indicates movement to the left on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does a positive y-coordinate indicate in terms of movement on a coordinate plane?

Back

A positive y-coordinate indicates movement upward on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does an ordered pair represent in a coordinate system?

Back

An ordered pair represents a specific point in a two-dimensional space, defined by its x (horizontal) and y (vertical) coordinates.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point (0,0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, serving as the reference point for all other points.

Front

How do you determine the direction to move based on the x-coordinate?

Back

If the x-coordinate is positive, move right; if negative, move left.

Front

How do you determine the direction to move based on the y-coordinate?

Back

If the y-coordinate is positive, move up; if negative, move down.

Front

What does the ordered pair (0, y) indicate?

Back

The ordered pair (0, y) indicates movement along the y-axis, with no movement left or right.

Front

What does the ordered pair (x, 0) indicate?

Back

The ordered pair (x, 0) indicates movement along the x-axis, with no movement up or down.

Front

What is the first quadrant in a coordinate plane?

Back

The first quadrant is the section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is the second quadrant in a coordinate plane?

Back

The second quadrant is the section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.
