Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line (x-axis) and a vertical number line (y-axis).

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 the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are written as an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position.

Front

What does a negative x-coordinate indicate?

Back

A negative x-coordinate indicates that the point is located to the left of the origin.

Front

What does a negative y-coordinate indicate?

Back

A negative y-coordinate indicates that the point is located below the x-axis.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point located 3 units to the right and 4 units above the origin?

Back

(3, 4) is the coordinate of the point.

Front

Which quadrant contains the point (-2, 3)?

Back

Quadrant II contains the point (-2, 3).

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line in the coordinate plane where y = 0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line in the coordinate plane where x = 0.
