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 pairs of numbers called coordinates.

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a pair of numbers that define the position of a point on a coordinate plane. The first number represents the position on the x-axis, and the second number represents the position on the y-axis.

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent?

Back

The point (0, 0) is called the origin. It is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

How do you read coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are read as (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

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

Front

What are quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrants are the four sections of a coordinate plane created by the x-axis and y-axis. They are numbered I, II, III, and IV, starting from the upper right and moving counterclockwise.

Front

What is the coordinate of point A located in Quadrant I?

Back

In Quadrant I, both x and y coordinates are positive. An example could be (3, 4).

Front

What is the coordinate of point B located in Quadrant II?

Back

In Quadrant II, the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive. An example could be (-3, 4).

Front

What is the coordinate of point C located in Quadrant III?

Back

In Quadrant III, both x and y coordinates are negative. An example could be (-3, -4).
