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 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 location on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the origin represent in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

What are the coordinates of point E if it is located on the y-axis at 2?

Back

(0, 2).

Front

What are the coordinates of point H if it is located in Quadrant I with a positive x and y value?

Back

(1, 2).

Front

What do the x-axis and y-axis divide the coordinate plane into?

Back

Four sections called quadrants.

Front

What is the significance of the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

It indicates the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the significance of the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

It indicates the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.
