Coordinate Plane 6.8

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the x-axis represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-axis represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

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

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

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are sections of the coordinate plane divided by the x-axis and y-axis: Quadrant I (positive x, positive y), Quadrant II (negative x, positive y), Quadrant III (negative x, negative y), Quadrant IV (positive x, negative y).

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinates of a point are identified by its position relative to the x-axis and y-axis, expressed as (x, y).

Front

What is the significance of the first quadrant?

Back

The first quadrant is where both x and y coordinates are positive, indicating that points in this quadrant have positive values.

Front

What is the significance of the second quadrant?

Back

The second quadrant is where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive, indicating that points in this quadrant have negative x values and positive y values.

Front

What is the significance of the third quadrant?

Back

The third quadrant is where both x and y coordinates are negative, indicating that points in this quadrant have negative values.

Front

What is the significance of the fourth quadrant?

Back

The fourth quadrant is where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative, indicating that points in this quadrant have positive x values and negative y values.
