The Number Plane

Learning intention: to be able to plot and locate coordinates


on a number plane.

Rate Your Understanding:


4 = Strong Understanding 3 = Familiar Content 2 = Have Questions 1 = Confused
Coordinates
• We can describe the position of any point on a 2-dimensional plane using
coordinates.
• When we write a coordinate, such as: (3, 5)

x-coordinate y-coordinate
the first number is called the x-coordinate and the second number is called
the y-coordinate.
• always comes first: “Along the corridor and up/down the stairs”
Coordinates on a number plane
4 • The -coordinate of a point shows its
y-axis
3 position measured to the left or right:
• The scale is shown on the x-axis

origin
x-axis • The -coordinate of a point shows its
–4 –3 –2 –1 O 1 2 3 4 position measured up or down:
–1 • The scale is shown on the y-axis
–2
–3 • The two axes intersect at the origin, at
–4 coordinates (0, 0)
Quadrants
The coordinate axes divide the grid into four quadrants:
4 y
is negative 3 is positive
is positive second first is positive
