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) 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 the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (positive x, positive y), Quadrant II (negative x, positive y), Quadrant III (negative x, negative y), Quadrant IV (positive x, negative y).

Front

What does Quadrant I represent?

Back

The area where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What does Quadrant II represent?

Back

The area where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What does Quadrant III represent?

Back

The area where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What does Quadrant IV represent?

Back

The area 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 y is always 0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical line in the coordinate plane where x is always 0.
