Coordinate Plane & Plotting Points

Front

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

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical line in a coordinate plane that represents the values of the y-coordinate.

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).

Front

How do you identify the location of a point given its coordinates (x, y)?

Back

The x-coordinate indicates the horizontal position, and the y-coordinate indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the definition of a quadrant in the coordinate plane?

Back

A quadrant is one of the four sections of the coordinate plane, divided by the X-axis and Y-axis.

Front

In which quadrant would the point (3, 4) be located?

Back

Point (3, 4) is located in Quadrant I.

Front

What are the coordinates for POINT I if it is located in Quadrant III?

Back

The coordinates for POINT I in Quadrant III would be negative for both x and y, such as (-2, -5).

Front

What does it mean if a point is located on the Y-axis?

Back

If a point is located on the Y-axis, its x-coordinate is 0.

Front

How do you graph the point (7, 1) on the coordinate plane?

Back

To graph (7, 1), move 7 units to the right on the X-axis and 1 unit up on the Y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the coordinates (0, 2)?

Back

The coordinates (0, 2) indicate a point located on the Y-axis, 2 units above the origin.

Front

What is the definition of the X-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal line in a coordinate plane that represents the values of the x-coordinate.
