    Key Definitions

    Key Definitions

    • Co-ordinate: A pair of numbers that show an exact position on a graph or grid, written as (x,
    y).
    • Cartesian Grid: A two-dimensional grid where co-ordinates are plotted.
    • X-axis: The horizontal line on a graph or grid.
    • Y-axis: The vertical line on a graph or grid.
    • Origin: The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by (0, 0).

    What are co-ordinates?


    Co-ordinates are pairs of numbers used to describe the location of points on a grid. The first number represents
    the x-coordinate (horizontal position) and the second represents the y-coordinate (vertical position).

    Why do we need to know about co-ordinates?


    Co-ordinates help us locate points in space. They are used in navigation, map reading, and even in video games
    to represent positions in two or three dimensions.

    Understanding Positive Co-ordinates


    Positive co-ordinates are points located in the first quadrant where both x and y are positive numbers. To plot
    a point, move along the x-axis and then up along the y-axis.

    Understanding Positive Co-ordinates: Worked Example


    Step 1: Start at the origin (0,0).

    To work through this problem, we follow these steps:

    1
    0.0 Co-ordinates

    Solution

    1. Step 1: Start at the origin (0,0).


    2. Step 2: Move 3 units to the right along the x-axis.
    3. Step 3: Move 4 units up along the y-axis.
    4. Step 4: Mark the point at (3,4).

    3. Plot the point (-4, -2)

    Congratulations! By finishing this section, you’ve completed the learning objective: Master how to plot positive
    co-ordinates.

    Understanding Negative Co-ordinates


    Negative co-ordinates are points where either or both the x and y values are negative. These points lie in the
    second, third, or fourth quadrants. To plot them, move left or down on the grid.

    Understanding Negative Co-ordinates: Worked Example


    Step 1: Start at the origin (0,0).
    To work through this problem, we follow these steps:

    Solution

    1. Step 1: Start at the origin (0,0).


    2. Step 2: Move 5 units to the left along the x-axis.
    3. Step 3: Move 2 units down along the y-axis.
    4. Step 4: Mark the point at (-5,-2).

    Congratulations! By finishing this section, you’ve completed the learning objective: Understand how to plot
    negative co-ordinates.

    Plotting Points on the Cartesian Grid


    When plotting points on a Cartesian grid, you start at the origin (0,0), move horizontally according to the
    x-coordinate, and then vertically according to the y-coordinate.

    Plotting Points on the Cartesian Grid: Worked Example


    Step 1: Start at the origin (0,0).
    To work through this problem, we follow these steps:

    2
    0 Co-ordinates

    Solution

    2. Step 2: Move 2 units right along the x-axis.
    3. Step 3: Move 3 units up along the y-axis.
    4. Step 4: Mark the point at (2,3).
