4 Quadrant Graphing

Front

What is the definition of the coordinate plane?

Back

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).

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

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).

Front

What does the ordered pair (0, 3) represent on the coordinate plane?

Back

The ordered pair (0, 3) represents a point located on the y-axis at 3 units above the origin.

Front

How do you identify the y-axis on a coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is always 0.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in the 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 coordinates of a point in Quadrant II?

Back

In Quadrant II, the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of point B if it is located at (-4, 6)?

Back

Point B is located 4 units to the left of the origin and 6 units above the origin.

Front

What does the ordered pair (4, -6) indicate about the location of point Z?

Back

Point Z is located 4 units to the right of the origin and 6 units below the origin.

Front

How can you find the coordinates of POINT I if it is given as (-2, -5)?

Back

POINT I is located 2 units to the left of the origin and 5 units below the origin.

Front

What is the relationship between the x-axis and y-axis in the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line where the y-coordinate is 0, while the y-axis is the vertical line where the x-coordinate is 0.
