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).

What does the point (0, 0) represent?

Back

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

How do you identify the quadrant of an ordered pair?

Back

To identify the quadrant, check the signs of the x and y coordinates: Quadrant I (both positive), Quadrant II (x negative, y positive), Quadrant III (both negative), Quadrant IV (x positive, y negative).
