Exploring the Coordinate Plane and Its Quadrants

The video tutorial introduces the coordinate plane and its four quadrants. It explains how to plot points in each quadrant, emphasizing the order of x and y coordinates. The tutorial covers the characteristics of each quadrant, including the signs of x and y values. The video concludes with a review of key concepts, ensuring students understand the material.

Which of the following is a correct representation of a point in the coordinate plane?

• (1, 2, 3)

• (a, b)

• (y, x)

• (x, y)

What does the term 'quadrant' refer to in a coordinate plane?

• The area to the right of the y-axis

• A section divided by the x and y-axes

• A specific point on the plane
