2 Cartesian Coordinate System Cartesian Plane (Rectangular Coordinate System) Pair of perpendicular lines, horizontal and vertical, intersecting at their respective 0-point x-axis Horizontal line in a Cartesian plane y-axis Vertical line is a Cartesian plane Origin Intersection of x- and y-axis; coordinates (0, 0) Ordered Pair (Coordinate) Describes the points on a Cartesian plane; (x,y) x-coordinate intersection of the x-axis with a perpendicular from that point y-coordinate intersection of the y-axis with a perpendicular from that point Quadrants Division of the Cartesian plane by the axes Quadrant 1 (+,+); all points in quadrant 1 have positive x and positive y values Quadrant 2 (,+); all points in quadrant 2 have negative x and positive y values Quadrant 3 (,); all points in quadrant 3 have negative x and negative y values Quadrant 4 (+,); all points in quadrant 4 have positive x and negative y values Absolute Value (magnitude) Distance from 0 *Note Distance is always positive Properties of Absolute Values 1. a 0 Absolute value of a number is always positives 2. a = a 3. ab = a b 4. a a = ,b 0 b b Absolute value of the opposite of a number is still going to be positive It does not matter when we take the absolute value when multiplying It does not matter when we take the absolute value when dividing
