How do you plot a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0,0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

How do you identify the quadrant of a point?

Back

The quadrant can be identified based on the signs of the x and y coordinates: Quadrant I (+,+), Quadrant II (-,+), Quadrant III (-,-), Quadrant IV (+,-).
