What is the coordinate plane?

Back

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

How do you plot the point (3, 2)?

Back

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