Coordinate Plane & Ordered Pairs

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 ordered pairs?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How many quadrants are in the coordinate plane?

Back

There are 4 quadrants in the coordinate plane.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located in Quadrant I?

Back

Both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located in Quadrant II?

Back

The x coordinate is negative, and the y coordinate is positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located in Quadrant III?

Back

Both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located in Quadrant IV?

Back

The x coordinate is positive, and the y coordinate is negative.

Front

What does it mean for a point to lie on the x-axis?

Back

The y-coordinate of the point is 0, so the point is of the form (x, 0).

Front

What does it mean for a point to lie on the y-axis?

Back

The x-coordinate of the point is 0, so the point is of the form (0, y).
