Cartesian Plane and Linear Graphs

Front

What is the Cartesian Plane?

Back

A two-dimensional coordinate system where each point is defined by a pair of numerical coordinates (x, y).

Front

What are the four quadrants of the Cartesian Plane?

Back

1st Quadrant: (+, +), 2nd Quadrant: (-, +), 3rd Quadrant: (-, -), 4th Quadrant: (+, -).

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, -2) located?

Back

4th Quadrant.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-4, 5) located?

Back

2nd Quadrant.

Front

What are the coordinates of point B if it is located in the 1st Quadrant?

Back

Any point with positive x and positive y coordinates, e.g., (2, 3).

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal axis in the Cartesian Plane where y = 0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical axis in the Cartesian Plane where x = 0.

Front

What are the coordinates of point D?

Back

(-5, -2).

Front

What is the significance of the origin in the Cartesian Plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you determine the quadrant of a point with coordinates (x, y)?

Back

Check the signs of x and y: (+, +) = 1st, (-, +) = 2nd, (-, -) = 3rd, (+, -) = 4th.
