Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line (x-axis) and a vertical number line (y-axis).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented as (0, 0).

Front

How do you identify a point in the coordinate plane?

Back

By its coordinates, written as (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

What does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The x-coordinate, which indicates the position along the x-axis.

Front

What does the second number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The y-coordinate, which indicates the position along the y-axis.

Front

What are quadrants in the coordinate plane?

Back

The four sections of the coordinate plane, divided by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, 4) located?

Back

Quadrant I, where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-3, 4) located?

Back

Quadrant II, where x is negative and y is positive.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-3, -4) located?

Back

Quadrant III, where both x and y coordinates are negative.
