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). Each point on the plane is defined by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The axes are the two perpendicular lines that define the coordinate plane: the horizontal line is called the x-axis, and the vertical line is called the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you read coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are read as (x, y), where 'x' indicates the horizontal position and 'y' indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does a positive x-coordinate indicate?

Back

A positive x-coordinate indicates a position to the right of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What does a negative y-coordinate indicate?

Back

A negative y-coordinate indicates a position below the origin on the y-axis.

Front

What are quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrants are the four sections of the coordinate plane, divided by the x-axis and y-axis. They are labeled as Quadrant I, II, III, and IV.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in Quadrant I?

Back

In Quadrant I, both the x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in Quadrant II?

Back

In Quadrant II, the x coordinate is negative and the y coordinate is positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in Quadrant III?

Back

In Quadrant III, both the x and y coordinates are negative.
