Coordinate Plane Flashcard

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). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

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).

Front

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).

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean if a point is in 'No Quadrant'?

Back

A point is in 'No Quadrant' if it lies on one of the axes (x-axis or y-axis) and does not fall into any of the four quadrants.

Front

What is the y-coordinate of a point?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in an ordered pair (x, y) and indicates the vertical position of the point on the coordinate plane.

Front

How many quadrants are there in a coordinate plane?

Back

There are 4 quadrants in a coordinate plane.

Front

What are the coordinates for POINT H if it is located at (1, 2)?

Back

The coordinates for POINT H are (1, 2).

Front

What does the coordinate (4, -6) represent?

Back

The coordinate (4, -6) represents a point located 4 units to the right of the origin and 6 units down.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is 0.
