Coordinate Plane Warm-up

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 axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical) are the two lines that define the coordinate plane.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 2) on a coordinate plane?

Back

Move 3 spaces to the right (x-axis) and 2 spaces up (y-axis).

Front

What is Quadrant I?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant II?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant III?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What is Quadrant IV?

Back

The section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative.
