• To impress the teacher

What is a coordinate plane?

In which quadrant are both coordinates of a point negative?

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant I

What are the coordinates of a point in Quadrant I?

• Both coordinates are positive

• One coordinate is negative, the other is positive

• Both coordinates are negative

• One coordinate is positive, the other is negative

Why does the point (-3, 5) represent a different location than (3, 5)?

• Because -3 is to the right and 3 is to the left of the origin

• Because -3 is below and 3 is above the origin

• Because -3 is to the left and 3 is to the right of the origin

• Because -3 is above and 3 is below the origin

What is the scale of an axis?
