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 (x, y).

Front

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).

Front

What does the ordered pair (0, 0) represent?

Back

The ordered pair (0, 0) represents the origin of the coordinate plane, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point with positive x and negative y coordinates?

Back

A point with positive x and negative y coordinates is located in Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the x-coordinate in the ordered pair (4, -6)?

Back

The x-coordinate is 4.

Front

What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (-4, -3)?

Back

The y-coordinate is -3.

Front

If a point is in Quadrant II, what can you say about its coordinates?

Back

In Quadrant II, the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.

Front

What is the coordinate for the letter M if it is located at (-6, 0)?

Back

The coordinate for letter M is (-6, 0).

Front

Which quadrant contains the point (3, 5)?

Back

The point (3, 5) is in Quadrant I.

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 that divides the coordinate plane into four quadrants.
