Coordinate Plane-Review

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), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

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 an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point's position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin?

Back

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

Front

In which quadrant is the point (2, 5) located?

Back

Quadrant I, where both x and y are positive.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

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

Back

It is located in Quadrant II.

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, y) on the coordinate plane?

Back

It lies on the y-axis, where x is always 0.

Front

What is the significance of the point (x, 0) on the coordinate plane?

Back

It lies on the x-axis, where y is always 0.
