An online graphing calculator to graph points in rectangular coordinate system. Through these tutorials, you will be able to explore the properties of points and quadrants in rectangular coordinate systems. If needed, Free graph paper is available.
enter the x coordinate and y coordinate and press "Plot Point".
For each point or ordered pair, enter x and y and plot the cooresponding point.Determine the quadrant or axis where each point is located.
(2 , 3) , (-2 , -1) , (0 , -2) , (2 , -1) , (0 , 0) , (-2 , 3) , (2 , 0)
(-2 , 2) , (0 , 3) , (1 , -2) , (2 , 1) , (-3 , 0) , (-2 , -3) , (2 , -2)
Use the results in the above tutorial, and perhaps some other points, to answer the follwoing questions.
1 - For what values of x and y is the point (x,y) situated in quadrant I?
2 - For what values of x and y is the point (x,y) situated in quadrant II?
3 - For what values of x and y is the point (x,y) situated in quadrant III?
4 - For what values of x and y is the point (x,y) situated in quadrant IV?
5 - For what values of x and y is the point (x,y) on the x axis?
6 - For what values of x and y is the point (x,y) on the y axis?
For each situation give the coordinates of the point and use the applet to check your answer.(Note: These questions have an infinite number of possible answers).
1 - point (x,y) is situated in quadrant II.
2 - point (x,y) is situated in quadrant IV.
3 - point (x,y) is on the x axis.
4 - point (x,y) is situated in quadrant III.
5 - point (x,y) is situated in quadrant I.
6 - point (x,y) is on the y axis.
1 - A point (x,y) such that x > 0 and y > 0 is situated in quadrant I.
2 - A point (x,y) such that x < 0 and y > 0 is situated in quadrant II.
3 - A point (x,y) such that x < 0 and y < 0 is situated in quadrant III.
4 - A point (x,y) such that x > 0 and y < 0 is situated in quadrant IV.
5 - A point (x,y) such that y = 0 is situated the x axis?
6 - A point (x,y) such that x = 0 is situated the y axis?
