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), divided into four quadrants.

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (top right), Quadrant II (top left), Quadrant III (bottom left), Quadrant IV (bottom right).

Front

What does Quadrant I represent?

Back

Quadrant I contains all points where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What does Quadrant II represent?

Back

Quadrant II contains all points where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What does Quadrant III represent?

Back

Quadrant III contains all points where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What does Quadrant IV represent?

Back

Quadrant IV contains all points where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What is the X-axis?

Back

The horizontal line in the coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The vertical line in the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How do you identify a point in the coordinate plane?

Back

A point is identified by an ordered pair (x, y), where x is the horizontal distance from the origin and y is the vertical distance.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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