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).

Front

What are the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are a pair of numbers (x, y) that define the position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How many quadrants are in a coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants in a coordinate plane.

Front

What is Quadrant I?

Back

Quadrant I is the section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant II?

Back

Quadrant II is the section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant III?

Back

Quadrant III is the section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What is Quadrant IV?

Back

Quadrant IV is the section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What does it mean if a point is on an axis?

Back

If a point is on an axis, it means that one of its coordinates is zero.
