Coordinate Plane Worksheet

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is a grid that helps us locate points in a space using two numbers, called coordinates.

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are pairs of numbers (x, y) that determine the position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the first quadrant of the coordinate plane?

Back

The first quadrant is the top right section of the coordinate plane where both x-coordinates and y-coordinates are positive.

Front

Which axis is horizontal on the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane.

Front

Which axis is vertical on the coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the point (4, 5)?

Back

The x-coordinate is 4.

Front

What is the y-coordinate of the point (3, 7)?

Back

The y-coordinate is 7.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative x-coordinate?

Back

A negative x-coordinate means the point is located to the left of the y-axis.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative y-coordinate?

Back

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

Front

What is the sum of 3 and 5?

Back

The sum is 8.
