Key Concepts

Cartesian Coordinate System

This refers to a plane defined by two perpendicular number lines, the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical), which intersect at the origin. It provides a framework for locating points using a pair of numerical coordinates.

Ordered Pair

An ordered pair consists of two numbers (x, y) that describe a point's position on the Cartesian coordinate system. The first number represents the horizontal movement from the origin, and the second number represents the vertical movement.

Plotting a Point

Plotting a point involves interpreting an ordered pair by moving along the x-axis and y-axis according to the values given. This process requires moving from the origin: horizontally based on the x-coordinate and vertically based on the y-coordinate, then marking the location where these movements intersect.
