The Coordinate Plane (Cartesian Plane)
Discover and explore the connection between the position of a point in the Cartesian plane and its coordinates, then answer the questions that follow.
Practice Zone
Point lies in the first quadrant, point lies in the second quadrant, point lies in the third quadrant and point lies in the fourth quadrant. Write the possible coordinates of these points.
Points and have the same y-coordinate, equal to . How would you describe their position in the coordinate plane?
What is the x-coordinate of a point on the y-axis? What is the y-coordinate of a point on the x-axis?
Write the coordinates of the points shown in the graph below.
