Sixth grade math - Objects on a coordinate plane

The plane containing the X axis and Y axis is termed as the Coordinate Plane. Coordinate grid is defined as a grid which locates a point by its distance from the intersection of two straight lines. Thus any object in the plane has two coordinates, x-coordinate and y-coodrinate. An object is at (2, 3) means walk 2 unit from the origin to the right and then go vertically up by 3 units. The coordinate plane is divided into 4 quadrants. The coordinate plane quadrants are named I, II, III and IV. Practice many problems from the coordinate geometry worksheets and use printable coordinate grid & other resources of this page to improve your skills.

  • What is the meaning of coordinates in math?
  • Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position. On maps and graphs it is common to have a pair of numbers to show where a point is: the first number shows the distance along and the second number shows the distance up or down. Example: the point (12,5) is 12 units along, and 5 units up.

  • What is the boundary line in math?
  • When you are graphing inequalities, you will graph the ordinary linear functions just like we done before. The difference is that the solution to the inequality is not the drawn line but the area of the coordinate plane that satisfies the inequality. The boundary line is dashed for > and < and solid for ≥ and ≤.

  • What is a coordinate geometry?
  • Coordinate geometry is one of the most important and exciting ideas of mathematics. In particular it is central to the mathematics students meet at school. It provides a connection between algebra and geometry through graphs of lines and curves.

  • What are the quadrants of a coordinate plane?
  • The axes of a two-dimensional Cartesian system divide the plane into four infinite regions, called quadrants, each bounded by two half-axes. These are often numbered from 1st to 4th and denoted by Roman numerals: I (where the signs of the two coordinates are (+,+)), II (−,+), III (−,−), and IV (+,−).
