Intro to Coordinate Plane

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 axes in the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) that divide the plane into four quadrants.

Front

What are quadrants?

Back

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

Front

Which quadrant contains the point (2, 5)?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

If a point has coordinates (-3, -2), in which quadrant is it located?

Back

Quadrant III.

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

A pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

How many quadrants are in the coordinate plane?

Back

Four quadrants.
