Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the definition of the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a vertical line (y-axis) and a horizontal line (x-axis), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in an ordered pair (x, y) and represents the horizontal position.

Front

How do you identify the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in an ordered pair (x, y) and represents the vertical position.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What quadrant is located in the top right of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I is located in the top right of the coordinate plane, where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What quadrant is located in the top left of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant II is located in the top left of the coordinate plane, where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What quadrant is located in the bottom left of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant III is located in the bottom left of the coordinate plane, where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What quadrant is located in the bottom right of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant IV is located in the bottom right of the coordinate plane, where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative.
