The Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional space where points are defined by pairs of numbers (x, y).

Front

What are the two axes in the coordinate plane?

Back

The horizontal axis (x-axis) and the vertical axis (y-axis).

Front

What do we call the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect?

Back

The origin.

Front

How many quadrants are in the coordinate plane?

Back

Four quadrants.

Front

Which direction do you move first when plotting a point?

Back

Left or right along the x-axis.

Front

What is Quadrant I?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant II?

Back

The section where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant III?

Back

The section where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What is Quadrant IV?

Back

The section where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative.

Front

If a point is (2, 5), which quadrant is it in?

Back

Quadrant I.
