Why is the second quadrant towards the left and the first is on the right?

So when you first start of learning coordinate planes you start on the positive x and positive y coordinates. So as a result the first quartile is named after that (the first way of learning coordinate planes).

what is a quadrant? how? what? were?

A quadrant are those boxes outside or the plane those are were the dots are place there are 4 quadrants. Hopefully this helps you.

Do you have a suggestion to memorize where the quadrants are? I'm having trouble with that..

Remember, top right = quandrant 1 Then, rememer to go counterclockwise (move left, down, then right) to get the sequence of the numbers. Hope this helps.

how do you do fractions on coordinate plane?

Each axis is a number line. Here is a set of videos for fractions on a number line: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/fraction-arithmetic/arith-review-fractions-on-the-number-line/v/fractions-on-a-number-line Hope this helps.

I need help on the negative what negative does it mean? Thank you for your help

It means that the number or coordinate is a negative (the opposite of a positive). I hope this helps you.

If you are stuck just look at the explains

Is coordinate plane the same thing as graphing?

The coordinate plane is what we put graphs on. The graph is the coordinate plane as well as the function (or data) displayed on the plane.

what does coordinate plane means?

The coordinate plane is a tool for representing points on two axis. It is basically a map for charting coordinates. It can also be used to chart inequalities and equations.

is the bottom right the 4th quadrent or the left?

Q4 is bottom right, whereas Q3 takes up the bottom left.

Whats a quadrant? plz help me

A _quadrant_ means 4 parts of something. So, in a coordinate plane, the 4 "squares" are called _quadrants_. There are 4 quadrants in a coordinate plane, and they each have different locations and names. The _top right_ quadrant is called, *Quadrant 1*. The _top left_ quadrant is called, *Quadrant 2*. The _bottom left_ quadrant is called, *Quadrant 3*. Lastly, the _bottom right_ quadrant is called *Quadrant 4*. Hope this helps.

Coordinate plane parts review

CCSS.Math:

6.NS.C.6

Google Classroom

Review the parts of a coordinate plane, and try some practice problems.

Axes

A coordinate plane has one horizontal axis, the start color #11accd, x, start text, negative, a, x, i, s, end text, end color #11accd and one vertical axis, the start color #1fab54, y, start text, negative, a, x, i, s, end text, end color #1fab54.

Origin

The start color #11accd, x, start text, negative, a, x, i, s, end text, end color #11accd and start color #1fab54, y, start text, negative, a, x, i, s, end text, end color #1fab54 intersect at the start color #e07d10, start text, o, r, i, g, i, n, end text, end color #e07d10. The start color #e07d10, start text, o, r, i, g, i, n, end text, end color #e07d10 is located at ordered pair, left parenthesis, 0, comma, 0, right parenthesis.

Quadrants

The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants. Quadrant one (QI) is the top right fourth of the coordinate plane, where there are only positive coordinates. Quadrant two (QII) is the top left fourth of the coordinate plane. Quadrant three (QIII) is the bottom left fourth. Quadrant four (QIV) is the bottom right fourth.
