Coordinate Plane/Graphing

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 are the coordinates of a point in Quadrant I?

Back

Both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in Quadrant II?

Back

x coordinate is negative, y coordinate is positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in Quadrant III?

Back

Both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in Quadrant IV?

Back

x coordinate is positive, y coordinate is negative.

Front

How do you identify the location of a point given its coordinates (x, y)?

Back

The first number (x) indicates the horizontal position, and the second number (y) indicates the vertical position.

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent on the coordinate plane?

Back

The origin, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal line on the coordinate plane where y = 0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical line on the coordinate plane where x = 0.
