COORDINATE GRID REVIEW

Front

What is the definition of a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line (x-axis) and a vertical number line (y-axis).

Front

What are the names of the two axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The two axes are the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

How do you identify the four quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

The quadrants are numbered counterclockwise starting from the upper right: Quadrant I (positive x, positive y), Quadrant II (negative x, positive y), Quadrant III (negative x, negative y), Quadrant IV (positive x, negative y).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

How many quadrants are in a coordinate plane?

Back

There are 4 quadrants in a coordinate plane.

Front

In which quadrant would the point (3, -5) be located?

Back

The point (3, -5) is located in Quadrant IV.

Front

In which quadrant would the point (-2, 4) be located?

Back

The point (-2, 4) is located in Quadrant II.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0, 0).
