Coordinate plane 6th grade

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). Each point on the plane is defined by an ordered pair of numbers (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 is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on the 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

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

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 absolute value of a number?

Back

The absolute value of a number is the distance of that number from zero on the number line, regardless of direction.

Front

What quadrant is (3, -2) located in?

Back

(3, -2) is located in Quadrant IV.

Front

What quadrant is (-4, 5) located in?

Back

(-4, 5) is located in Quadrant II.
