Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical 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 is the X-axis?

Back

The horizontal line on the coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The vertical line on the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that define a point's position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you identify the location of a point (3, 4)?

Back

Move 3 units right on the x-axis and 4 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented as (0, 0).

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative x-coordinate?

Back

The point is located to the left of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative y-coordinate?

Back

The point is located below the origin on the y-axis.

Front

What quadrant is point (2, -3) located in?

Back

Quadrant IV.
