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). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: 1st Quadrant (x > 0, y > 0), 2nd Quadrant (x < 0, y > 0), 3rd Quadrant (x < 0, y < 0), 4th Quadrant (x > 0, y < 0).

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).

How do you identify the quadrant of a point?

Back

To identify the quadrant, look at the signs of the x and y coordinates: (+, +) for 1st, (-, +) for 2nd, (-, -) for 3rd, and (+, -) for 4th.
