Coordinate Planes Review

Front

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).

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (positive x, positive y), Quadrant II (negative x, positive y), Quadrant III (negative x, negative y), Quadrant IV (positive x, negative y).

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 5) on a coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move right 3 units (x-value), then move up 5 units (y-value).

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis represents the horizontal line in a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis represents the vertical line in a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-4, 3) located?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

Coordinates are identified as (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What is the significance of the signs of coordinates in determining the quadrant?

Back

The signs of the coordinates determine the quadrant: positive x and y in Quadrant I, negative x and positive y in Quadrant II, negative x and y in Quadrant III, positive x and negative y in Quadrant IV.

Front

If a point has coordinates (0, -5), where is it located?

Back

It is located on the y-axis, 5 units down from the origin.
