Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

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 the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal number line in the coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical number line in the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point with positive x and negative y coordinates?

Back

The point is located in Quadrant IV.

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point with negative x and positive y coordinates?

Back

The point is located in Quadrant II.

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that define the position of a point in the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the point (4, -6) represent?

Back

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

Front

What does the point (0, -6) represent?

Back

A point located at the origin on the x-axis and 6 units down on the y-axis.
