The second page demonstrates the practical application of plotting points on a coordinate grid (4 quadrants). It provides a detailed step-by-step process for accurate point plotting.

Definition: Point plotting is the process of locating specific positions on a coordinate plane using ordered pairs (x,y).

Example: To plot $-1,5$:

1. Start at the origin
2. Move left 1 unit (negative x)
3. Move up 5 units (positive y)
4. Mark and label the point

Highlight: The process can be applied to any point on the coordinate plane, regardless of which quadrant it falls in.

Vocabulary: An ordered pair consists of two numbers written in parentheses (x,y), where x represents horizontal movement and y represents vertical movement.

The first page introduces fundamental concepts of the coordinate plane and its quadrant system. The coordinate plane is divided into four distinct quadrants, each with unique characteristics regarding positive and negative values.

Definition: A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface with horizontal $x$ and vertical $y$ axes that intersect at the origin.

Vocabulary: Quadrants are the four sections of the coordinate plane, labeled I, II, III, and IV.

Highlight: Each quadrant has specific rules for positive and negative values:

• Quadrant I: Both x and y are positive
• Quadrant II: x is negative, y is positive
• Quadrant III: Both x and y are negative
• Quadrant IV: x is positive, y is negative

Example: When plotting point (1,5), the first number (1) represents the x-coordinate, and the second number (5) represents the y-coordinate. This point falls in Quadrant I because both coordinates are positive.
