Coordinate Plane Concepts

In this video, Mr. Jay explains how to find the coordinates of points on a coordinate plane. He reviews the x-axis and y-axis, emphasizing that the x-coordinate comes first, followed by the y-coordinate. Through six examples, he demonstrates how to determine the coordinates of points A through F, highlighting the process of identifying positions along the axes. The video concludes with a summary of the key points covered.
