Coordinate Plane

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 (x, y).

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 the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent?

Back

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

Front

What are the four quadrants in 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

Where is Quadrant I located?

Back

Quadrant I is located in the upper right section of the coordinate plane.

Front

Where is Quadrant II located?

Back

Quadrant II is located in the upper left section of the coordinate plane.

Front

Where is Quadrant III located?

Back

Quadrant III is located in the lower left section of the coordinate plane.

Front

Where is Quadrant IV located?

Back

Quadrant IV is located in the lower right section of the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical line in the coordinate plane that measures the value of y in an ordered pair.
