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 locate points on a coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The axes are the two perpendicular lines that define the coordinate plane: the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

What are quadrants in a 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, Quadrant II, Quadrant III, and Quadrant IV.

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 ordered pair (0, 0).

What is the significance of the x-axis?

Back

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

What is the significance of the y-axis?

Back

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

How do you determine which quadrant a point is in?

Back

To determine the quadrant of a point (x, y), check the signs of x and y: Quadrant I (positive, positive), Quadrant II (negative, positive), Quadrant III (negative, negative), Quadrant IV (positive, negative).
