Quadrant Review

Front

What is the origin on a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What are the four quadrants of a 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

If a point has coordinates (3, 4), which quadrant is it in?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

What does it mean if a point lies on the x-axis?

Back

It means the y-coordinate is 0, and the point can be in Quadrant I or IV.

Front

What does it mean if a point lies on the y-axis?

Back

It means the x-coordinate is 0, and the point can be in Quadrant II or III.

Front

If a point has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate, which quadrant is it in?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

If a point has a negative y-coordinate, which quadrants could it be in?

Back

Quadrant III and Quadrant IV.

Front

What is a vertex in geometry?

Back

A vertex is a point where two line segments meet.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in Quadrant III?

Back

Both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in Quadrant IV?

Back

The x-coordinate is positive, and the y-coordinate is negative.
