Coordinate Planes

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).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The two axes in a coordinate plane are the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

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 in an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).

Front

How many quadrants are in a coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants in a coordinate plane.

Back

Quadrant I contains points where both x and y are positive.

Front

Which quadrant contains points where x is negative and y is positive?

Back

Quadrant II contains points where x is negative and y is positive.

Front

Which quadrant contains points where x is negative and y is negative?

Back

Quadrant III contains points where x is negative and y is negative.
