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 the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How many quadrants are in the coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants in the coordinate plane.

Front

Which direction do the quadrants move around the origin?

Back

The quadrants move counterclockwise around the origin.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point?

Back

An ordered pair (x, y) that indicates the position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the first quadrant?

Back

The quadrant where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is the second quadrant?

Back

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

Front

What is the third quadrant?

Back

The quadrant where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What is the fourth quadrant?

Back

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