| On a coordinate plane, the horizontal axis is called the x-axis.The vertical axis is called the y-axis. | Coodinate Geometry Info
The Coordinate Plane is a grid that uses two number lines to locate points. |
The location of a point is given with an ordered pair of coordinates.In an ordered pair, the x-coordinate is first and the y-coordinate is second, (x,y). |
|---|---|---|
| The x-axis and y-axis intersect at a point called the origin. On the x-axis, the positive values are to the right of the origin and the negative values are to the left. | |
The coordinate axis divide the coordinate plane into four quadrants. They are numbered 1-4 counterclockwise from the upper left. |
