Understanding the Cartesian Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial introduces the Cartesian coordinate plane, explaining its origin and structure, including the x-axis, y-axis, and quadrants. It demonstrates how to plot points and graph equations, using examples to illustrate the process. The tutorial aims to enhance understanding of algebra and geometry by visually representing equations on the plane.
