Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) are the two lines that define the coordinate plane.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point's position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the origin represent in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How many quadrants are in a coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants in a coordinate plane.

Front

What is Quadrant I?

Back

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

Front

What is Quadrant II?

Back

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

Front

What is Quadrant III?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What is Quadrant IV?

Back

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

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal line in the coordinate plane where y = 0.
