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.

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.

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.

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.

when i try to do it i type i always git the rong answer and never right

That's OK! This confusing topic definitely takes some practice before it feels natural. Here's some tips to help you remember which quadrant is which: 1) First off, draw down a coordinate plane. In the upper right corner, write (+,+) to symbol that both numbers are positive, then write '1'. In the upper _left_, write down '(-,+)' and mark it with a '2'. In the _bottom_ right, write (+,-) then put a matching 4. Finally, in the bottom left, write down (-,-). You can then glance at your paper to see 'ok, in the third quadrant the number on the _x-axis_ is positive and the number in the _y-axis_ is negative. Eventually, this will become enrooted in your brain, and quizzes like this will be as easy as 123. 2) Look at the previous tip. You may have noticed that I put (-) to symbol a negative number an (+) to symbol a positive number. You can think of the (+) as an open eye, (-) as a closed eye, and (,) as the mouth. You can then think of the third quadrant, (-,-), as someone sleeping, or 'the lazy quadrant'. Next, think of the first quadrant, (+,+), as someone wide-awake, or 'the active quadrant'. Finally, you can think of the second and fourth as someone winking! Hope this helped, _Ponyta303_

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.

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

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

Coordinate plane parts review

Google Classroom

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

Axes

A coordinate plane has one horizontal axis, the

x -axis

and one vertical axis, the

y -axis

Origin

The

x -axis

and

y -axis

intersect at the

origin

. The

origin

is located at ordered pair,

(0, 0)

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.
