The coordinate plane is a flat surface made by the intersection1 of two perpendicular2 number lines (axes).
An ordered pair describes3 the location of a point on the coordinate plane using x- and y-coordinates.
The x-coordinate is the position of the point along the x-axis.
The y-coordinate is the position of the point along the y-axis.

6. Relevance
An ordered pair describes the location of a point on the coordinate plane using x- and y-coordinates.
The x-coordinate is the position of the point along the x-axis.
The y-coordinate is the position of the point along the y-axis. 1
Plotting ordered pairs will help you understand information in real life.
Information in real life is often presented in graphs on a coordinate plane. 2
Plotting ordered pairs will help you tell where things are located.
Most maps use a grid system that works like a coordinate plane. 3
Plotting ordered pairs will help you do well on tests.
Sample Test Question:
20. Which of the following describes the point M on the graph?
The point is at (6, -4).
The distance of the point from the y-axis is 6.
The point is at (-6, 4).
The distance of the point along the y-axis is -6.
Yes No M
