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.

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).

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.

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.
