The x-axis is the horizontal line
The y-axis is the vertical line
The axes intersect to form four infinite areas, or quadrants
Quadrant I is the top-right area
Quadrant II is the top-left area
Quadrant III is the bottom-left area
Quadrant IV is the bottom-right area
Points in Quadrant I will have positive x and y-coordinates
Points in Quadrant II will have a negative x and positive y-coordinate
Points in Quadrant II will have negative x and y-coordinates
Points in Quadrant II will have a positive x and negative y-coordinate
The open circles represent possible points along the axis
