The Coordinate Plane
Coordinate Pairs
100

The first number in the coordinate pair is called this.

What is the x coordinate?

100
This axis on the coordinate plane is a number line that goes in a horizontal direction.
What is the X-AXIS?
100
In a set of coordinate pairs that can be plotted on the coordinate plane, which is correct: (y,x) or (x,y)?
What is (x,y)?
200

This is the direction you move first when graphing a point.

What is right or left of the origin?

200
These 4 positions/placements on the coordinate plane are numbered I, II, III, and IV.
What are QUADRANTS?
200
The quadrant where the coordinate pair (2,5) is located.
What is QUADRANT I?
300

The second number in the coordinate pairs is this.

What is the y- coordinate?

300
This number line goes in a vertical direction on the coordinate plane.
What is the Y-AXIS?
300
The quadrant where the coordinate pair (-2,-4) is located.
What is QUADRANT III?
400

This is the direction you move second when graphing a point.

What is vertically or up and down?

400

The ORIGIN on the coordinate plane is located where the x-axis and y-axis cross. This is the coordinate of that point.

What is (0, 0)?

400
For the coordinate pair (1,-4), you would count the number of lines on the __-axis first.
What is the X-AXIS?
500

This is where you start graphing.

What is the origin (0,0)?

500
On the y-axis, the negative integers are located _____ the origin (zero).
What is BELOW?
500
The negative integers on the x-axis are located to the _____ of the origin (0).
What is the LEFT?
