What is a coordinate graph?

Back

A coordinate graph is a two-dimensional space where points are plotted using pairs of numbers called coordinates, which represent their position on the graph.

What are the axes in a coordinate graph?

Back

The axes are the two perpendicular lines that form the graph: the horizontal line is called the x-axis, and the vertical line is called the y-axis.

What is the origin in a coordinate graph?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the coordinates (0, 0).

How do you plot a point on a coordinate graph?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move up or down to the y-coordinate.
