Coordinate Planes

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.

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The two axes in a coordinate plane are the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

How many quadrants are in a coordinate plane?

Back

There are 4 quadrants in a coordinate plane.

Front

What is Quadrant I?

Back

Quadrant I is the section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant II?

Back

Quadrant II is the section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant III?

Back

Quadrant III is the section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What is Quadrant IV?

Back

Quadrant IV is the section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative.
