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 two axes in the coordinate plane called?

Back

The horizontal axis is called the x-axis, and the vertical axis is called the y-axis.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

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

How many quadrants are in the coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is Quadrant I?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant II?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant III?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What is Quadrant IV?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The horizontal number line in the coordinate plane.
