Graphing Points Using the Coordinate System

A two-dimensional surface where points are defined by a pair of numbers (x, y).

The horizontal line on the coordinate plane where y=0.

The vertical line on the coordinate plane where x=0.

By using an ordered pair (x, y) where x is the horizontal distance and y is the vertical distance.

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane.

The point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Move 3 units right on the x-axis and 2 units up on the y-axis.

The distance is 2 units, as they are vertically aligned.

The distance is 3 units, as they are horizontally aligned.

The x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position.
