Coordinate Plane

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

How do you determine the quadrant of a point with coordinates (x, y)?

Back

Check the signs of x and y: if x > 0 and y > 0, it's in Quadrant I; if x < 0 and y > 0, it's in Quadrant II; if x < 0 and y < 0, it's in Quadrant III; if x > 0 and y < 0, it's in Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the distance formula used for in the coordinate plane?

Back

To calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2): Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

How do you plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move horizontally to the x-coordinate, and then vertically to the y-coordinate.
