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). Each point on the plane is defined by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y).

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

What does the ordered pair (0, 0) represent?

Back

The ordered pair (0, 0) represents the origin of the coordinate plane, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

What is the absolute value of a number?

Back

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. It is always a non-negative value.

What is the significance of the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane, and the y-axis is the vertical line. They are used to define the position of points.
