What is the definition of 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), used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

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

Back

Coordinates are identified as (x, y), where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position.

What does the point (0, 0) represent on the coordinate plane?

Back

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

How do you plot the point (3, 4) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move right 3 units (positive x-direction), then move up 4 units (positive y-direction).

What is the method to plot the point (-5, 2)?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move left 5 units (negative x-direction), then move up 2 units (positive y-direction).

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis and y-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line; together they define the coordinate plane and help locate points.
