Coordinate Plane

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 (x, y).

Front

What are the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are a pair of numbers (x, y) that define the position of a point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero. It runs left to right.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero. It runs up and down.

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: 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

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

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

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

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

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.
