Exploring the Quadrants of the Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial explains the concept of quadrants on a coordinate plane, detailing the characteristics of each quadrant. It then demonstrates how to determine the quadrant in which a specific point, (-7, 7), is located by analyzing the signs of its x and y coordinates. The tutorial concludes by plotting the point to visually confirm its position in the second quadrant.

What is the significance of the coordinate axes in determining quadrants?

• They are only used for plotting points

• They have no significance

• They divide the plane into quadrants

• They help in identifying the direction of the point

What divides the coordinate plane into four sections?
