Coordinate Plane

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 (x, y).

Front

What are the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are a pair of numbers (x, y) that define the position of a point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position.

Front

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).

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: 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 it mean if a point is in 'No Quadrant'?

Back

A point is in 'No Quadrant' if it lies on one of the axes (x-axis or y-axis) and does not fall into any of the four quadrants.

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

To identify the coordinates of a point, move horizontally along the x-axis to find the x-coordinate, then move vertically to find the y-coordinate.

Front

What are the coordinates of POINT I if it is located at (-2, -5)?

Back

The coordinates of POINT I are (-2, -5).

Front

Which letter corresponds to the coordinate (4, -6)?

Back

The letter that corresponds to the coordinate (4, -6) is Z.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located at (0, -6)?

Back

The coordinates of the point located at (0, -6) are (0, -6), which corresponds to the letter O.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

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