Coordinate Plane Quadrants-DMS

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 (x, y).

Front

What are the four quadrants of the 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 would you find the point (3, 4)?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

In which quadrant would you find the point (-5, 2)?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

In which quadrant would you find the point (-3, -4)?

Back

Quadrant III.

Front

In which quadrant would you find the point (6, -1)?

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, serving as the reference point for all other points.

Front

How do you determine the quadrant of a point with positive x and negative y coordinates?

Back

The point is located in Quadrant IV.
