[color=#000000]You've probably already noticed that in the coordinate plane, the x- and y-axes split up the plane into [b]4 different regions. [/b][br][br]Each region is called a [b]quadrant. [/b] [br][br]Interact with the applet below, then answer the questions that follow. [/color]
What property do all the points (x,y) in first quadrant have in common? Explain.
For any point in the first quadrant, the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate are both positive.
What property do all the points (x,y) in the second quadrant have in common? Explain.
For any point in the second quadrant, the x-coordinate is negative the y-coordinate is positive.
What property do all the points (x,y) in the third quadrant have in common? Explain.
For any point in the third quadrant, the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate are both negative.
What property do all the points (x,y) in the fourth quadrant have in common? Explain.
For any point in the fourth quadrant, the x-coordinate is positive the y-coordinate is negative.
