Graphing on Coordinate Plane

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 identify the quadrant of a point (x, y)?

Back

Determine the signs of x and y: if both are positive, it's Quadrant I; if x is negative and y is positive, it's Quadrant II; if both are negative, it's Quadrant III; if x is positive and y is negative, it's Quadrant IV.

Front

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

Back

(0, 0), which is the origin.

Front

When given an ordered pair (x, y), which value represents the horizontal position?

Back

The x-value represents the horizontal position.

Front

When given an ordered pair (x, y), which value represents the vertical position?

Back

The y-value represents the vertical position.

Front

What direction do you move on the coordinate plane to plot a positive x-value?

Back

You move to the right.

Front

What direction do you move on the coordinate plane to plot a negative x-value?

Back

You move to the left.

Front

What direction do you move on the coordinate plane to plot a positive y-value?

Back

You move up.

Front

What direction do you move on the coordinate plane to plot a negative y-value?

Back

You move down.

Front

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

Back

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