4 Quadrant Graphing Coordinates

Front

What are the four quadrants of the 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

What is the x-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on the coordinate plane where x=0.

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

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

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What does a positive x-coordinate indicate?

Back

A positive x-coordinate indicates a position to the right of the origin.

Front

What does a negative y-coordinate indicate?

Back

A negative y-coordinate indicates a position below the origin.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 2) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin, move 3 units right (positive x), then 2 units up (positive y).

Front

What is the distance from the origin to the point (4, 3)?

Back

The distance is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: √(4² + 3²) = √(16 + 9) = √25 = 5.

Front

What is the significance of the ordered pair (0, y)?

Back

It represents a point on the y-axis, where x is 0.
