Plotting Points on the Coordinate Plane

This video tutorial explains how to plot points on a coordinate plane using ordered pairs. It begins with a review of the coordinate system, detailing how to determine and plot x and y coordinates. The tutorial provides examples by plotting points A, B, C, D, and E, demonstrating movements along the x and y axes based on positive and negative values. Each example is explained step-by-step, showing how to graph the points accurately.

What is the first step in plotting a point on the coordinate plane?

• Move horizontally from the origin

• Determine the x coordinate

• Move vertically from the origin

• Determine the y coordinate
