Quadrants of the Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the definition of 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).

What are the four quadrants of the 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).
