Graphing Coordinates

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface where points are defined by a pair of numbers (x, y).

Front

What does the X-axis represent?

Back

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

Front

What does the Y-axis represent?

Back

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

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 4)?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units right (x-axis), then 4 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0, 0) where the X-axis and Y-axis intersect.

Front

What are quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

The four sections of the coordinate plane divided by the X-axis and Y-axis.

Front

What is the first quadrant?

Back

The section where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is the second quadrant?

Back

The section where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is the third quadrant?

Back

The section where both x and y coordinates are negative.
