This video tutorial explains the concept of quadrants in coordinate planes. It covers how to determine the quadrant of a point by examining the values of an ordered pair. The lesson reviews ordered pairs, explores the term 'quadrant' and its related words, and describes the unique positioning system (UPS) of each quadrant. The tutorial includes practice exercises for identifying quadrants and addresses common misunderstandings, emphasizing the importance of labeling quadrants counterclockwise.

What is the role of an ordered pair in a coordinate plane?

• To calculate the distance between points

• To label the axes of the plane

• To give directions for plotting a point

• To determine the size of a quadrant

Which of the following words is related to the term 'quadrant'?

• Triangle

• Triplet

• Quadrilateral

• Biped

How are the quadrants of a coordinate plane labeled?

• Clockwise as 1, 2, 3, 4

• Counterclockwise as 1, 2, 3, 4

• Randomly

• Based on the size of the quadrant

What is the unique positioning system (UPS) of Quadrant 1?

• Two positive coordinates

• Two negative coordinates

• A negative x and a positive y

• A positive x and a negative y

Which quadrant is characterized by a negative x and a positive y?

• Quadrant 1

• Quadrant 4

• Quadrant 2

• Quadrant 3

What is the UPS of Quadrant 3?

• A negative x and a positive y

• A positive x and a negative y

• Two positive coordinates

• Two negative coordinates

In which quadrant would the point (-2, 3) be located?

• Quadrant 2

• Quadrant 1

• Quadrant 4

If a point has coordinates (1, -5), which quadrant does it belong to?

• Quadrant 1

• Quadrant 2

• Quadrant 4

• Quadrant 3

Which quadrant would the point (2, -5) fall into?

• Quadrant 4

• Quadrant 3

• Quadrant 2

• Quadrant 1

What is a common mistake students make when labeling quadrants?

• Labeling them with colors

• Labeling them based on size

• Labeling them with letters

• Labeling them clockwise
