Parts of 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).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) are the two lines that define the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What are quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

The four sections of the coordinate plane created by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

What is Quadrant I?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where both x and y values are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant II?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where x values are negative and y values are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant III?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where both x and y values are negative.

Front

What is Quadrant IV?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where x values are positive and y values are negative.

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The horizontal line in the coordinate plane where y values are zero.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The vertical line in the coordinate plane where x values are zero.
