Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) are the two lines that define the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented as (0, 0).

Front

How do you identify a point in the coordinate plane?

Back

A point is identified by an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal distance from the origin and 'y' is the vertical distance.

Front

What is a quadrant in the coordinate plane?

Back

One of the four sections created by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

How many quadrants are there in a coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants: Quadrant I, Quadrant II, Quadrant III, and Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the significance of the coordinates (4, -6)?

Back

The point is located 4 units to the right of the origin and 6 units down.

Front

What does it mean if a point is in Quadrant IV?

Back

The x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.
