Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show your work where necessary.
1. A coordinate plane is formed by two perpendicular lines called the -axis and the -axis.
2. The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect is called the .
3. The first number in an ordered pair (x, y) represents the coordinate.
Plot the following points on the coordinate plane below:
A (2, 3)
B (-4, 1)
C (0, -2)
D (-3, -5)
1. In which quadrant is the point (5, -2) located?
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV
