Ordered Pairs & Quadrants

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to represent a point in a coordinate system, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number (x) represents the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number (y) represents the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: I (x > 0, y > 0), II (x < 0, y > 0), III (x < 0, y < 0), IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-2, 6) located?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

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

Back

Quadrant III.

Front

What are the coordinates of point H if it is located at (-2, 4)?

Back

The coordinates of point H are (-2, 4).

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point located at (0, 1)?

Back

The ordered pair is (0, 1).

Front

If a point is in Quadrant I, what can you say about its coordinates?

Back

Both coordinates (x, y) are positive.

Front

If a point is in Quadrant IV, what can you say about its coordinates?

Back

The x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.
