Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line (x-axis) and a vertical number line (y-axis).

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin?

Back

(0, 0)

Front

How do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in an ordered pair (x, y).

Front

How do you identify the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in an ordered pair (x, y).

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

In which quadrant would you find the point (3, -4)?

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

In which quadrant would you find the point (-5, 2)?

Back

Quadrant II.
