Coordinate Planes

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Which axis is horizontal in a coordinate plane?

Back

The X-axis.

Front

What is the purpose of the Y-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The Y-axis represents the vertical component of ordered pairs.

Front

How do you identify the location of a point in a coordinate plane?

Back

By using an ordered pair (X,Y), where X is the horizontal position and Y is the vertical position.

Front

What does the term 'ordered pair' mean?

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 is the significance of Quadrant I in a coordinate plane?

Back

In Quadrant I, both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What shape is typically found in Quadrant II?

Back

Shapes with negative x values and positive y values.

Front

What is the relationship between the axes and the quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

The axes divide the coordinate plane into four quadrants.

Front

How do you determine which quadrant a point (X,Y) is in?

Back

By checking the signs of X and Y: positive X and positive Y is Quadrant I, negative X and positive Y is Quadrant II, negative X and negative Y is Quadrant III, positive X and negative Y is Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the distance between two points in a coordinate plane?

Back

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).
