CCSS.5.G.A.1

The starting point.

On a number line it is 0

On a two-dimensional graph it is where the X axis and Y axis cross.

• origin

• quadrant

• y-axis

CCSS.5.G.A.1

Any of the 4 areas made when we divide up a plane by an x and y axis, as shown.

They are usually numbered I, II, III and IV

• origin

• quadrant (graph)

CCSS.5.G.A.1

The line on a graph that runs vertically (up-down) through zero.

It is used as a reference line so you can measure from it.

• origin

• quadrant (graph)

• y-axis
