Graphing Points on the Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial explains how to plot points on a coordinate plane using ordered pairs. It begins with plotting the point (8, 10), detailing the roles of x and y coordinates. The x-coordinate indicates horizontal movement, while the y-coordinate indicates vertical movement. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of not mixing up these coordinates. Additional examples, such as plotting (6, 10) and (5, 7), reinforce the concept. The video concludes with a recap, ensuring viewers understand how to correctly plot points using ordered pairs.

What is the first number in an ordered pair called?

• z-coordinate

• x-coordinate

• w-coordinate

• y-coordinate
