2. The Coordinate Plane
Lesson 5-6

3. Objectives I can locate ordered pairs on the coordinate plane.
I can define and locate each of the four quadrants on a coordinate plane.

4. The Coordinate Plane
Ask questoins about how far is the middle school from the high school? Etc The coordinate plane can also be seen as a map…

5. Vocabulary
quadrant – The coordinate plane is separated into four quadrants. They are labeled I, II, III, and IV as follows:

6. Example 1
Identify the ordered pair that names point C. Then identify the quadrant in which it is located.
Step 1: Start at the origin. Move right on the x-axis. The coordinate of point C is
Step 2: Move up the y-axis. The y-coordinate is 1.
Point C is at (1 1 2 , 1) in Quadrant I.

7. Example 2
Identify the point located at ( , -1). Then identify the quadrant in which it is located.
Step 1: Start at the origin. Move left on the x-axis
Step 2: Move down the y-axis 1.
Point B is located there in Quadrant III.

8. Got It?
1) Identify the ordered pair that names point A. Then identify the quadrant in which it is located. 2) Identify the point located at (1, -2). Then identify the quadrant in which it is located.

9. Reflections on the Coordinate Plane
Just like a number line shows opposites…. …a coordinate plane shows opposites through reflections. Example: (-4, 0) and (4, 0)

10. Example 3
Name the ordered pair that is a reflection of (-3, 2) across the x-axis.
To reflect across the x-axis, keep the same x-coordinate and the opposite y-coordinate. So, (-3, 2) reflected across the x-axis is located at (-3, -2).

11. Got It?
Name the ordered pair that is a reflection of each point across the x-axis.
3) (1, -4)
4) (-2, 5)
5) (-3, -1)

12. Example 4
Xander is building a square fence. He places fence posts at the locations indicated on the grid. What is the location of the post that reflects (-4, 4) across the y-axis?
To reflect across the y-axis, keep the same y-coordinate and the opposite x-coordinate.
So, (-4, 4) reflected across the x-axis is (4, 4).

13. Got it?
Kendall also places a fence post at (-4, -4). What is the location of the post that reflects (-4, -4) over the y-axis?
