Understanding the Cartesian Plane

The video tutorial explains the Cartesian plane, focusing on the X and Y axes, coordinates, and plotting points. It covers the concept of quadrants and the origin, and explains how to identify X and Y intercepts. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the vocabulary related to these concepts, such as axes, coordinates, quadrants, and intercepts.
