Coordinate Planes

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a coordinate plane, usually written as (x, y).

Front

What is the X-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

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

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (x positive, y positive), Quadrant II (x negative, y positive), Quadrant III (x negative, y negative), Quadrant IV (x positive, y negative).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the X-axis and Y-axis intersect, represented as (0, 0).

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

To identify the coordinates of a point, find its position relative to the X-axis (x-value) and Y-axis (y-value).

Front

What is the coordinate of point E if it is located 2 units right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

The coordinates of point E are (2, 2).

Front

What is the coordinate of point D if it is located 1 unit right and 1 unit down from the origin?

Back

The coordinates of point D are (1, -1).

Front

What is the coordinate of point C if it is located 2 units right and 4 units down from the origin?

Back

The coordinates of point C are (2, -4).

Front

Which quadrant contains points with positive x and positive y coordinates?

Back

Quadrant I contains points with positive x and positive y coordinates.
