Coordinate plane

Front

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 locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The two axes in a coordinate plane are the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify a point in the first quadrant?

Back

In the first quadrant, both the x-coordinate and y-coordinate are positive.

Front

How do you identify a point in the second quadrant?

Back

In the second quadrant, the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.

Front

How do you identify a point in the third quadrant?

Back

In the third quadrant, both the x-coordinate and y-coordinate are negative.

Front

How do you identify a point in the fourth quadrant?

Back

In the fourth quadrant, the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.
