Intro

Graphing All Four Quadrants

By the end of this lesson, you will graph points anywhere on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs of rational numbers, including fractions and decimals. You will learn how the x-axis and y-axis split the grid into four quadrants, and how signs tell you which quadrant a point lands in.
