Coordinate Plane Enrichment

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), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

How many quadrants are in the coordinate plane?

Back

There are 4 quadrants in the coordinate plane.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in the first quadrant?

Back

Both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in the second quadrant?

Back

The x-coordinate is negative, and the y-coordinate is positive.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in the third quadrant?

Back

Both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in the fourth quadrant?

Back

The x-coordinate is positive, and the y-coordinate is negative.

Front

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

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