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), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The vertical position of a point on the 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

In which quadrant is the point (2, 3) located?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-3, 4) located?

Back

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-2, -5) located?

Back

Front

In which quadrant is the point (4, -1) located?

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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