Coordinate Review

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

In which quadrant is the point (5, -3) located?

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-4, 2) located?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

Identify the quadrant for the point (-3, -7).

Back

Quadrant III.

Front

Identify the quadrant for the point (8, 4).

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, serving as the reference point for all other points.
