How do you plot the point (3, 2) on a coordinate plane?

Back

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

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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