Coordinate Plane & Plotting Points

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). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

What are ordered pairs?

Back

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers used to represent the position of a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The axes are the two perpendicular lines that define the coordinate plane: the horizontal line is called the x-axis, and the vertical line is called the y-axis.

What are quadrants in the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrants are the four sections of the coordinate plane created by the x-axis and y-axis. They are labeled as Quadrant I, II, III, and IV.

How do you plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0, 0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the coordinates (0, 0).

What are the coordinates of point A located in Quadrant I?

Back

The coordinates of point A in Quadrant I are positive for both x and y, for example, (3, 4).
