Coordinate Plane 5th Grade

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 axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The axes are the two perpendicular lines that define the coordinate plane: the horizontal line is called the x-axis, and the vertical line is called the y-axis.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

How do you plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0, 0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

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 ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What quadrant is located at (x > 0, y > 0)?

Back

Quadrant I is located where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What quadrant is located at (x < 0, y > 0)?

Back

Quadrant II is located where x is negative and y is positive.

Front

What quadrant is located at (x < 0, y < 0)?

Back

Quadrant III is located where both x and y coordinates are negative.
