What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane, indicating how far to move left or right from the origin.

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane, indicating how far to move up or down from the origin.

How do you plot a point with coordinates (3, 4)?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 4 units up (y-axis) to plot the point.
