Points on Coordinate Grid

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a coordinate grid, usually written as (x, y).

Front

What is the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in a pair of coordinates that indicates the horizontal position on the grid.

Front

What is the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in a pair of coordinates that indicates the vertical position on the grid.

Front

What does Quadrant I represent?

Back

Quadrant I is the section of the coordinate grid where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What does Quadrant II represent?

Back

Quadrant II is the section of the coordinate grid where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What does Quadrant III represent?

Back

Quadrant III is the section of the coordinate grid where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What does Quadrant IV represent?

Back

Quadrant IV is the section of the coordinate grid where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative.

Front

How do you plot a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0,0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the coordinates (0, 0).

Front

What are negative coordinates?

Back

Negative coordinates are values that indicate a position to the left of the origin on the x-axis or below the origin on the y-axis.
