The Cartesian Plane is
divided into four y
quadrants.

Plot the following points.
A(– 4, 6) y

B(2, – 3) A(– 4, 6)

C(– 6, – 4) D(7, 3)

D(7, 3)
x

C(– 6, – 4) B(2, – 3)
These points all lie in different quadrants.
What do you notice about their coordinates?
Plot the following points.
E(5, 0) y

F(0, 6)
F(0, 6)

G(– 7, 0)
E(5, 0)
H(0, – 3) x
G(– 7, 0)
H(0, – 3)

These points all lie on the axes, not in quadrants.
