Coordinate Plane

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), used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are written as an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, serving as the reference point for all other points.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, -4) located?

Back

Quadrant IV, because x is positive and y is negative.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-5, 2) located?

Back

Quadrant II, because x is negative and y is positive.

Front

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

Back

A point is on the x-axis if its y-coordinate is 0, represented as (x, 0).

Front

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

Back

A point is on the y-axis if its x-coordinate is 0, represented as (0, y).

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located at 2 units right and 3 units up from the origin?

Back

(2, 3).

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located at 4 units left and 1 unit down from the origin?

Back

(-4, -1).
