Integers and the Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the origin on the coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point located at (0,0) on the coordinate plane.

Front

What are the four sections of the coordinate plane called?

Back

The four sections are called quadrants.

Front

Where is the point (-7,0) located?

Back

The point (-7,0) is located on the x-axis.

Front

Where is the point (0,6) located?

Back

The point (0,6) is located on the y-axis.

Front

What does a negative integer represent in a real-world situation?

Back

A negative integer can represent a fall or decrease, such as a fall of 25 feet.

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers used to locate points on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x,y).

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point?

Back

The quadrant can be identified by the signs of the x and y coordinates: Quadrant I (+,+), Quadrant II (-,+), Quadrant III (-,-), Quadrant IV (+,-).

Front

What is the significance of the point (0,0)?

Back

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