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)

Test your knowledge on the coordinate plane and its quadrants. This quiz covers the characteristics of each quadrant, along with the unique identification of points using ordered pairs. Perfect for students learning about two-dimensional graphing concepts.
