Plotting Points on a Coordinate Plane: Quadrant 1 Essentials

In this video, Mr. Jay explains how to plot points on a coordinate plane, focusing on quadrant one with positive numbers. He reviews the x-axis and y-axis, and demonstrates plotting points through six examples, emphasizing the importance of the order of coordinates. The video concludes with a summary of the key concepts covered.

Which quadrant are we working in if we're only using positive numbers?

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant I

What happens when the x-coordinate is 0?

• The point is on the x-axis

• The point cannot be plotted

• The point is at the origin

• The point is on the y-axis

What is crucial to remember about plotting points?

• The order doesn't matter

• The x-coordinate comes first

• The y-coordinate comes first

• Only negative numbers are used
