Graphing on a coordinate plane

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). Each point on the plane is defined by an ordered pair (x, y).

The ordered pair (x, y) represents the position of a point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal distance from the origin and 'y' is the vertical distance from the origin.

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

To identify the coordinates of a point, find its horizontal position (x) along the x-axis and its vertical position (y) along the y-axis, then write them as an ordered pair (x, y).

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

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

To plot the point (-2, -2), move 2 units left on the x-axis and 2 units down on the y-axis from the origin.

The points form a triangle.

The coordinates for POINT I are (-2, -5).

It means the point is located in the fourth quadrant of the coordinate plane.
