Coordinate Plane - 4 Quadrants

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 four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The horizontal axis in the coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The vertical axis in the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How do you write coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are written as an ordered pair (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

What are the coordinates of point A in Quadrant I?

Back

(3, 4) - both x and y are positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of point B in Quadrant II?

Back

(-3, 4) - x is negative, y is positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of point C in Quadrant III?

Back

(-3, -4) - both x and y are negative.

Front

What are the coordinates of point D in Quadrant IV?

Back

(3, -4) - x is positive, y is negative.

Front

Which quadrant contains the point (2, -5)?

Back

Quadrant IV.
