Coordinate Plane

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

The x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

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

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

The x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position.

The y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position.

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

It is on the y-axis, 4 units above the origin.
