Understanding Quadrants and Coordinates

The video tutorial explains graphing points in four quadrants. It starts with an introduction to graphing and the concept of quadrants, which are named using Roman numerals and arranged counterclockwise. The tutorial then covers how to plot points on a graph, identifying their positions in different quadrants based on their coordinates. It highlights the characteristics of each quadrant, such as positive and negative values, and discusses special cases like points on the axes and the origin.

What is the characteristic of the first quadrant in a graph?

• x is negative, y is positive

• Both x and y are positive

• x is positive, y is negative

• Both x and y are negative

Which quadrant is associated with both x and y being negative?

• Second quadrant

• Fourth quadrant

• Third quadrant

• First quadrant

How are quadrants named on a graph?

• Using Arabic numerals

• Using Roman numerals

• Using letters

• Using colors

In which order are the quadrants named?

• Clockwise

• Counterclockwise

• From top to bottom

• Randomly

When plotting points, which coordinate is listed first?

• z-coordinate

• y-coordinate

• It doesn't matter

• x-coordinate

What is the sign of x and y in the second quadrant?

• x is positive, y is positive

• x is negative, y is positive

• x is positive, y is negative

• Both x and y are negative

If a point has a positive x and a negative y, which quadrant is it in?

• Third quadrant

• Fourth quadrant

• First quadrant

• Second quadrant

Which quadrant has both coordinates positive?

• First quadrant

• Second quadrant

• Fourth quadrant

• Third quadrant

What is the characteristic of the third quadrant?

• Both x and y are positive

Which quadrant is associated with a negative x and a positive y?

• Fourth quadrant

• Third quadrant

• Second quadrant

• First quadrant
