Coordinate Grid Four Quadrants

​x-axis

Horizontal number line. (REMEMBER x-axis goes across like an x)​

​y-axis

Vertical number line. (REMEMBER the y has the line that goes up and down)​

coordinate plane

The intersection of the x-axis and y-axis​

ordered pair

Two numbers that are the location of a point on the coordinate plane. (REMEMBER x comes before y in the alphabet (x,y)​.

​The Coordinate Plane

• The x and y-axis separate the coordinate plane into four regions called Quadrants.

• ​To remember the quadrants to put a C in the middle of the coordinate plane.

• ​Trace the C with your finger starting at the top

  • ​Quadrant I is at the top and move counter-clockwise until you get to the bottom of C, Quadrant 4.​

• ​If the ordered pair (x,0), it is located on the x-axis.

• ​If ordered pair (0,y), it is located on the y-axis.
