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).

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).

What are the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates of a point are expressed as an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

How do you identify the quadrant of a point (x, y)?

Back

To identify the quadrant, check the signs of x and y: Quadrant I (both positive), Quadrant II (x negative, y positive), Quadrant III (both negative), Quadrant IV (x positive, y negative).

What is the x-axis?

Back

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

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

How do you plot a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.
