Bloomin' GeniusPlayback speed:
A treasure map says: start at the rock (0, 0). Dig at (−3, 2). Which way do you walk?
In this video
- Meet the four quadrants and the origin.
- Plot (−3, 2): walk left 3, then climb up 2.
- Reflect a point across the x-axis and the y-axis.
Try it together
Which quadrant is (−5, 8) in?
Show the answer
Quadrant II
x is negative (walk left) and y is positive (climb up).
Ask, don't tell
“Which number do we use first?”
“Which way does a negative number make you go?”
