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 (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).

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates of a point are identified as an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

How do you determine which quadrant a point is in?

Back

To determine the quadrant, look at 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).

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

What are the coordinates of point E if it is located at (0, 2)?

Back

The coordinates of point E are (0, 2), meaning it is on the y-axis, 2 units above the origin.

What is the significance of the signs of coordinates?

Back

The signs of coordinates indicate the location of the point in relation to the axes: positive x and y are in Quadrant I, negative x and positive y in Quadrant II, etc.
