🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

• Number Line: A horizontal line representing numbers as points, extending infinitely in both directions, used to visualize integers, real numbers, and their relationships.
• Integers: Whole numbers and their negatives, including zero (e.g., -3, 0, 4).
• Absolute Value: The distance of a number from zero on the number line, denoted as |x|, always non-negative.
• Opposite Numbers: Two numbers that are the same distance from zero but on opposite sides, e.g., 8 and -8.
• Quadrants: Four sections of the coordinate plane divided by the x-axis and y-axis:
  • Quadrant I: (+, +)
  • Quadrant II: (−, +)
  • Quadrant III: (−, −)
  • Quadrant IV: (+, −)
• Coordinate Point: An ordered pair (x, y) indicating a position on the plane.
