Question

there are ______ quadrants on the coordinate plane.
o these quadrants are numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 in a counter - clockwise direction.
o for example, if you write a “c” beginning in the upper right and end in the lower right, you will be following the 4 quadrants around in order.
the ____________ runs left to right (horizontal).
o ____________ numbers are on the right half of the coordinate plane.
o ____________ numbers are on the left half of the coordinate plane.
the ____________ runs top to bottom (vertical).
o ____________ numbers are on the top half of the coordinate plane.
o ____________ numbers are on the bottom half of the coordinate plane.
the point where the two axes meet in the middle of the coordinate plane is called the __________. the point for the origin is (, __).

Explanation:

The coordinate plane has 4 quadrants numbered counter - clockwise. The x - axis runs horizontally with positive numbers on the right and negative on the left. The y - axis runs vertically with positive numbers on the top and negative on the bottom. The intersection of the axes is the origin, which has coordinates (0, 0).

Answer:

1. 4
2. x - axis; Positive; Negative
3. y - axis; Positive; Negative
4. origin; 0; 0
