Coordinate Plane First Quadrant

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 the coordinate plane?

Back

The X-axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the first quadrant of the coordinate plane represent?

Back

The area where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The vertical axis of the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the X-axis?

Back

The horizontal axis of the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you identify a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

By using an ordered pair (x, y) where x is the distance from the Y-axis and y is the distance from the X-axis.

Front

What is the point (0,0) called?

Back

The origin, where the X-axis and Y-axis intersect.

Front

What does the point (3,4) represent?

Back

A point located 3 units right of the Y-axis and 4 units up from the X-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the first quadrant?

Back

It is the only quadrant where both x and y values are positive.
