Coordinate Planes

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 axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical) are the two axes in a coordinate plane.

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

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number (x) represents the horizontal position on the x-axis.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number (y) represents the vertical position on the y-axis.

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin?

Back

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

Front

What is Quadrant I?

Back

Quadrant I is the section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant II?

Back

Quadrant II is the section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is Quadrant III?

Back

Quadrant III is the section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What is Quadrant IV?

Back

Quadrant IV is the section of the coordinate plane where x coordinates are positive and y coordinates are negative.
