Coordinate Points

A coordinate point is a pair of numbers that define a specific location on a two-dimensional plane, represented as (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.

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

The x-axis is the horizontal number line in a coordinate plane.

The y-axis is the vertical number line in a coordinate plane.

The coordinates of a point are identified by its position along the x-axis (x-coordinate) and y-axis (y-coordinate).

(3, 4)

(-2, -5)

It is located 3 units left and 2 units up from the origin.
