Understanding the Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial introduces the concept of the coordinate plane, explaining its two axes: the x-axis and y-axis. It covers how to graph points by moving along these axes and describes the four quadrants, each with different sign conventions for coordinates. The tutorial also explains the significance of zero values on the axes, providing examples to illustrate these concepts.

What is the name of the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect?

• Vertex

• Origin

• Intersection

• Center
