Exploring the Coordinate Plane and Plotting Points

This video tutorial covers the basics of the coordinate plane, including key vocabulary such as axes, origin, and quadrants. It explains how to plot points using ordered pairs and provides practice questions to reinforce learning. The video emphasizes understanding the properties of the coordinate plane and how to identify the location of points within its quadrants.

What does the term 'coordinates' refer to in the context of a coordinate plane?

• The lines that divide the plane into four sections

• The center point of the graph

• The numerical values that determine a point's position

• The labels for each quadrant
