Coordinates: explained simply
A coordinate pair gives a point's exact position. The first number belongs to the horizontal x-axis and the second to the vertical y-axis.
How to work it out
- For (x | y), start at the origin, move x units horizontally and then y units vertically.
- On these sheets, points lie to the right of and above the origin, or on the axes. Read the scale: one unit need not equal one small square.
An example, step by step
Plot point A (3 | 2).
- Start at the origin, where the axes meet at 0.
- Move 3 units right and then 2 units up.
- Mark the point and label it A.
Understand other variations
Read points and join shapes
To read a point, trace back to the axes and read x and y. When joining points, use the given order and then identify the resulting shape.
Your turn
Where is B (2 | 3)?
Show the answer and method
From the origin, 2 units right and 3 units up.
