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.

What are ordered pairs?

Back

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers used to locate points on a coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

How do you identify the quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants: Quadrant I (top right), Quadrant II (top left), Quadrant III (bottom left), and Quadrant IV (bottom right).

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

How do you plot a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0, 0), move horizontally to the x-coordinate, and then vertically to the y-coordinate.

What is the significance of the first quadrant?

Back

In the first quadrant, both x and y coordinates are positive, indicating points located in the top right section of the coordinate plane.

What is the significance of the second quadrant?

Back

In the second quadrant, the x-coordinates are negative and the y-coordinates are positive, indicating points located in the top left section of the coordinate plane.
