Graphing on Coordinate Plane

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 ordered pairs?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent the position of a point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin?

Back

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

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The x-coordinate, indicating the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The y-coordinate, indicating the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, 4)?

Back

Quadrant I, where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-3, 4)?

Back

Quadrant II, where x is negative and y is positive.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-3, -4)?

Back

Quadrant III, where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, -4)?

Back

Quadrant IV, where x is positive and y is negative.

Front

How do you move to plot the point (7, -10)?

Back

Move 7 units to the right (positive x-direction) and 10 units down (negative y-direction).
