What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). It is used to plot points using pairs of numbers called coordinates.

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a pair of numbers that define the position of a point on a coordinate plane. The first number represents the position on the x-axis, and the second number represents the position on the y-axis.

What does the point (0,0) represent?

Back

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

How do you read coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are read as (x,y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane. It represents the values of x in the coordinate pairs.

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane. It represents the values of y in the coordinate pairs.

What is the first quadrant?

Back

The first quadrant is the section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are positive. It is located in the upper right section of the plane.

What is the second quadrant?

Back

The second quadrant is the section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive. It is located in the upper left section of the plane.
