Understanding Coordinates and Movements

The 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 the x and y coordinates. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for plotting points, including examples with points A, B, C, D, and E. Each example demonstrates how to move from the origin based on the x and y values, highlighting the direction and distance to plot each point accurately.

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

• Determine the y coordinate

• Determine the x coordinate
