Study Notes

Coordinate Plane

  • The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional system formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line (x-axis) and a vertical number line (y-axis).
  • The point where the axes intersect is called the origin (0,0).
  • The plane is divided into four regions called quadrants.

Quadrant Characteristics

  • Quadrant I: Located in the upper right. Points in this quadrant have positive x-coordinates and positive y-coordinates.

  • Quadrant II: Located in the upper left. Points in this quadrant have negative x-coordinates and positive y-coordinates.

  • Quadrant III: Located in the lower left. Points in this quadrant have negative x-coordinates and negative y-coordinates.

  • Quadrant IV: Located in the lower right. Points in this quadrant have positive x-coordinates and negative y-coordinates.

  • Each point on the coordinate plane can be uniquely identified by an ordered pair (x, y), representing its horizontal (x) and vertical (y) position relative to the origin.

  • The x-coordinate is the horizontal distance from the y-axis; the y-coordinate is the vertical distance from the x-axis.

  • The quadrants are numbered counter-clockwise, starting with Quadrant I in the upper right.

  • Knowledge of quadrants is crucial for plotting points, performing transformations, and understanding geometric relationships in the coordinate plane.

  • Points on the axes themselves are not considered to be in any quadrant. The x-axis and y-axis form the boundaries between the quadrants.

  • The x-axis represents all points with a y-coordinate of 0, (0, y)

  • The y-axis represents all points with an x-coordinate of 0 (x,0)
