Introduction to coordinate plane quiz for Grade 6

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 📍 Coordinate Plane: A grid formed by two number lines (x-axis and y-axis) that intersect at a point called the origin.
• 📈 X-axis: The horizontal number line.
• 📉 Y-axis: The vertical number line.
• 🧮 Ordered Pair: A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane. 'x' is the horizontal distance from the origin, and 'y' is the vertical distance from the origin.
• ➕ Quadrants: The coordinate plane is divided into four regions called quadrants, numbered I, II, III, and IV, going counter-clockwise, starting from the top right.
• 🧭 Origin: The point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.
• 📝 Plotting Points: To plot a point (x, y), start at the origin, move 'x' units horizontally, and then 'y' units vertically.
