Coordinate Graphing

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 four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (top right), Quadrant II (top left), Quadrant III (bottom left), and Quadrant IV (bottom right).

Front

What does an ordered pair represent?

Back

An ordered pair, written as (x, y), represents a specific point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, 5)?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-2, -3)?

Back

Quadrant III.

Front

How do you plot the point (5, -2)?

Back

Move 5 units to the right on the x-axis and 2 units down on the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-coordinate in the ordered pair (4, -1)?

Back

The x-coordinate is 4.

Front

What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (-3, 7)?

Back

The y-coordinate is 7.

Front

If a point is in Quadrant II, what can you say about its coordinates?

Back

The x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.

Front

What does it mean to move 'left' on the coordinate plane?

Back

Moving 'left' means decreasing the x-coordinate.
