Plotting Points on the Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What are the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane, while the y-axis is the vertical line.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented as (0, 0).

Front

What are quadrants in the coordinate plane?

Back

The four regions created by the x-axis and y-axis, labeled as Quadrant I, II, III, and IV.

Front

How do you identify Quadrant I?

Back

Quadrant I is where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

How do you identify Quadrant II?

Back

Quadrant II is where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

How do you identify Quadrant III?

Back

Quadrant III is where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

How do you identify Quadrant IV?

Back

Quadrant IV is where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A set of two numbers (x, y) used to locate a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot a point using an ordered pair?

Back

Start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the first number, then move parallel to the y-axis to the second number.
