Quadrants
Chat with our AI personalities
The four parts of a coordinate plane are called quadrants. These parts are divided up by the x and y-axis, which can be labeled using roman numerals (I-IV) or Q1-Q4. Quadrants are labeled counter-clockwise, beginning in the upper right-hand side and ending in the lower-right-hand side.
A coordinate grid has just one large section displaying data varying from (0,0) to (infinity,infinity). On the other hand, a coordinate plane is much different. A coordinate plane has four sections, (+,+), (+,-), (-,+), and (-,-). Theese four sections are all in oposite corners of a grid. I hope this helped!!
It was the 1600s.
The 'abscissa' is the x coordinate on the Cartesian plane and the 'ordinate' is the y coordinate on the Cartesian plane
