Coordinate Grid Basics

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal line in a coordinate grid where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical line in a coordinate grid where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that determine the position of a point on a coordinate grid.

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent?

Back

The origin, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

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

Back

Quadrant I, where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

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

Back

Quadrant II, where x is negative and y is positive.

Front

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

Back

Quadrant III, where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

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

Back

Quadrant IV, where x is positive and y is negative.

Front

What are the coordinates of point D if it lies on the y-axis?

Back

(0, y), where y can be any value.

Front

What are the coordinates of point I if it is located at (4, 3)?

Back

The point I is located 4 units right and 3 units up from the origin.
