Plotting Points on the 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 x-axis and y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane, while the y-axis is the vertical line.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

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

In an ordered pair (x, y), which value represents the horizontal position?

Back

The x value.

Front

In an ordered pair (x, y), which value represents the vertical position?

Back

The y value.

Front

What quadrant is represented by positive x and positive y values?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

What quadrant is represented by negative x and positive y values?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

What quadrant is represented by negative x and negative y values?

Back

Quadrant III.

Front

What quadrant is represented by positive x and negative y values?

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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