Understanding Cartesian Coordinates

This video tutorial teaches how to plot points on a Cartesian coordinate system. It begins with an introduction to the coordinate plane, explaining the x-axis, y-axis, and the origin. The video covers positive and negative directions on the axes and how to write coordinate points in the form (x, y). The tutorial includes step-by-step examples of plotting points A to I, with a focus on understanding the movement along the axes. The video concludes with a call to action for further learning and resources.
