How to plot a point on a coordinate plane

The video tutorial explains how to plot a coordinate on a plane. It begins by defining a coordinate as a point with X and Y values, where X is the horizontal value and Y is the vertical value. The tutorial guides viewers on plotting these values on a coordinate plane, emphasizing the importance of understanding positive and negative directions. It concludes by demonstrating how to combine X and Y values to determine the final position of a coordinate on graph paper.

What is a coordinate in the context of a coordinate plane?

• A line on the graph

• A point defined by X and Y values

• A shape on the graph

• A direction on the compass

Which axis does the X value correspond to on a coordinate plane?

• Diagonal axis

• Vertical axis

• Horizontal axis

• Circular axis

If an X value is negative, in which direction do you move on the X axis?

• Left

• Up

• Right

• Down

What does a negative Y value indicate when plotting on a coordinate plane?

• Move downwards

• Move to the right

• Move upwards

• Move to the left

How do you determine the final position of a coordinate on the plane?

• By only considering the X value

• By only considering the Y value

• By combining both X and Y values

• By averaging the X and Y values
