Coordinate Graphing

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (x positive, y positive), Quadrant II (x negative, y positive), Quadrant III (x negative, y negative), Quadrant IV (x positive, y negative).

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

In which quadrant is the point (0, 0) located?

Back

The point (0, 0) is located at the origin, which is the intersection of all four quadrants.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

If a point has a negative x-value and a positive y-value, in which quadrant is it located?

Back

It is located in Quadrant II.

Front

If a point has coordinates (5, -3), what is the x-value?

Back

The x-value is 5.

Front

If a point is located in Quadrant III, what can you say about its x and y values?

Back

Both the x and y values are negative.

Front

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

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, serving as the reference point for all other points.
