5. The coordinate plane is formed by the intersection of two number lines.

6. Origin, the point where the two number lines intersect
y-axis, it is the vertical number line x
x-axis, it is the horizontal number line

7. You can graph points on the
coordinate plane. A point has two coordinates which form an ordered pair.
The x coordinate tells how far to move left or right along the x- axis.
(3, -4)
The y coordinate tells how far to move up or down along the y-axis.

8. Example 1 What are the coordinates of point A?
Move up from the x axis. The y coordinate is 4.
What are the coordinates of point A? A
The coordinates for point A are (2, 4).
Start at the origin. Move 2 units to the right. The x coordinate is 2.

9. Example 2 B What are the coordinates of point B?
Move 5 units left from the origin. The x coordinate is -5.
What are the coordinates of point B?
Move down from the x axis to point B. The y coordinate is -2.
The coordinates for point B are (-5, -2). B

10. C D B F E A A (-7, 4) B (3, -3) C (3, 0) D (7, 1) E (0, -7) F (-6, -4)
Practice
Write the ordered pair for each point. A
A (-7, 4)
B (3, -3)
C (3, 0)
D (7, 1)
E (0, -7)
F (-6, -4) C D B F E

11. The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants.
Quadrant II
Quadrant I
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV

12. Example 3
In which quadrant is point C located? C
Quadrant III

13. Example 4
In which quadrant is point D located?
Quadrant IV D

14. A B C D E II I III IV A D B C E Practice
Identify the quadrant in which each point lies. A B C D E II I
III IV A D B C E

15. Where is ordered
pair F located?
pair G located?
(-7, 0) on x axis
(0, 4) on y axis

16. Closure
What are the signs for all of the x-coordinates and all of the y-coordinates of the ordered pairs in the second quadrant?
x negatives, y positives
