Locating the key parts of the coordinate plane and plotting points

1. 4.1 The Coordinate Plane 1) Identify the x and y axis
2) Identify the origin
2) Identify the four quadrants
of the coordinate plane,
including the sign of the x and
y coordinates that exist within
each quadrant
4) Able to plot a coordinate
pair in a coordinate plane

3. The Coordinate PlaneThe X & Y Axis
The x-axis & y-axis meet at a
point called the OriginThe y-axis is
the vertical axis
The x-axis is
the vertical axis

4. The Coordinate Plane
The Quadrants
Positive x values
Positiveyvalues
Negative x values
Negativeyvalues
All x & y values are positive
All x & y values are negative positive x values & negative y values
negative x values & positive y values
(+,+)(-,+)
(-,-) (+,-)

5. The Coordinate Plane
(+,-)(-,-)
(+,+)(-,+)
Points can exist in any of
the four quadrants, on
either axis, or at the origin
points are named as a
coordinate pair.
