Coordinate Graphing

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

A pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

The x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

The y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Start at the origin (0, 0), move right 2 units (x-coordinate), then move up 3 units (y-coordinate).

The horizontal line on the coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is 0.

The vertical line on the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is 0.

Quadrant I, where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Quadrant II, where x is negative and y is positive.

Quadrant III, where both x and y coordinates are negative.
