Read each word before you begin. Say it out loud.

WordWhat it meansExample
QuadrantSpanish: Cuadrante One of the four parts of a coordinate grid, numbered I to IV. I (+, +) top-right, II (-, +) top-left, III (-, -) bottom-left, IV (+, -) bottom-right
Negative coordinateSpanish: Coordenada negativa A coordinate less than zero. It means left or below the center point. (-3, 2) means 3 left and 2 up from the origin
ReflectionSpanish: Reflexión A flipped, mirror image across a line. (3, 2) reflected over the y-axis is (-3, 2) — same distance, opposite side
AxisSpanish: Eje One of the two number lines that frame a graph: the x-axis runs across, the y-axis runs up and down. The x-axis goes left-right; the y-axis goes up-down; they cross at (0, 0)
IntegerSpanish: Número entero Whole numbers and their opposites, like -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

Watch outA common mistake

A common mistake in Ordered Pairs in All Four Quadrants is matching each sign to the wrong axis — for example, seeing (-2, 5) and thinking "the x is negative so I move DOWN, and the y is positive so I move RIGHT," which lands the point in Quadrant IV. But the x-coordinate always controls left/right, never up/down: negative x means LEFT (not down), and positive y means UP (not right). So (-2, 5) is actually left 2, up 5 — Quadrant II. Before you submit, check that you used the x-coordinate for left/right and the y-coordinate for up/down, and never swapped them.
