Coordinate Graphs

Front

What is a coordinate graph?

Back

A coordinate graph is a two-dimensional space where points are plotted using pairs of numbers called coordinates, usually written as (x, y).

Front

What do the x-axis and y-axis represent in a coordinate graph?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line that represents the value of x, while the y-axis is the vertical line that represents the value of y.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate graph?

Back

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

Front

How do you plot a point on a coordinate graph?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move up or down to the y-coordinate.

Front

What are quadrants in a coordinate graph?

Back

Quadrants are the four sections of the coordinate plane, divided by the x-axis and y-axis. They are labeled as Quadrant I, II, III, and IV.

Front

What is the difference between positive and negative coordinates?

Back

Positive coordinates are located in Quadrants I and IV, while negative coordinates are found in Quadrants II and III.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in Quadrant I?

Back

A point in Quadrant I has both x and y coordinates that are positive.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in Quadrant II?

Back

A point in Quadrant II has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in Quadrant III?

Back

A point in Quadrant III has both x and y coordinates that are negative.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in Quadrant IV?

Back

A point in Quadrant IV has a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate.
