Coordinate Plane

The coordinate plane is formed by the intersection of the horizontal x-axis and vertical y-axis. Points on the plane are represented by ordered pairs (x,y) where x is the distance from the origin on the x-axis and y is the distance from the origin on the y-axis. The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants based on whether x and y are positive or negative.

Coordinate Plane

Coordinate plane - a coordinate system formed by the intersection


of a horizontal number line, called the x axis , and a vertical
number line called the y-axis .

Points are labeled with capital letters .

Ordered Pair a pair of numbers that can be used to represent a point


in the coordinate plane, often expressed as ( x , y ) .

The first coordinate, x, of an ordered pair is the x - coordinate .


It tells how far left or right to move from the origin

The second coordinate, y, of an ordered pair is the y - coordinate .


It tells how far up or down to move from the origin

Quadrants - the four regions that the coordinate plane is divided into.
The graph of (x,y) is the point in the plane that corresponds
to the ordered pair (x , y ).

Write the order pairs that correspond to the points labeled.


ex
y

G
A

I C x

H D

Plot and label the ordered pairs in the coordinate grid.


ex
A(4,1)
B(0,1)
C(-2,5)
D(-3,0)
E(3,-2)
F(1,-2)
G(-4,-3)
H(0,0)
