Understanding the Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial explains the coordinate plane, which is divided into four quadrants by the x and y axes. The x-axis is horizontal, and the y-axis is vertical. Quadrants are numbered counterclockwise, starting from the upper right. Points in each quadrant have specific sign characteristics for their coordinates. Points on the axes are not in any quadrant. Examples of points in different quadrants and on the axes are provided to illustrate these concepts.

What is the role of the x-axis in the coordinate plane?

• It is the horizontal axis.

• It is the vertical axis.

• It is used to measure the y-coordinate.

• It divides the plane into two halves.

In which quadrant are both x and y coordinates positive?

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant I

Which quadrant has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate?

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant III

What do we say about a point that lies on the x-axis?

• It is in Quadrant I.

• It is not in any quadrant.

• It is in Quadrant IV.

• It is in Quadrant II.

Where does point A lie according to the examples?

• On the x-axis

• On the y-axis

• In Quadrant I

• In Quadrant III

Which point lies on the y-axis in the examples?

• Point A

• Point C

• Point E

• Point F

How are the quadrants numbered in the coordinate plane?

• Clockwise

• Counterclockwise

• From top to bottom

• From left to right
