Coordinate Graphing

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

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

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

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

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

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

It is located 4 units down from the origin on the y-axis.

Moving left means decreasing the x-coordinate value.

Moving up means increasing the y-coordinate value.
