It’s a flat grid with two number lines:
– Horizontal (x-axis)
– Vertical (y-axis)
These axes meet at the origin (0, 0)—the starting point for all coordinates.

The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants:
1️⃣ Top-right: Positive x and y values
2️⃣ Top-left: Negative x, positive y
3️⃣ Bottom-left: Negative x and y
4️⃣ Bottom-right: Positive x, negative y

Plotting Points Is Easy!
Here’s how:
1. Start at the origin (0, 0).
2. Move along the x-axis for the first number.
3. Move up or down the y-axis for the second number.
Example: (3, 2) = 3 steps right, 2 steps up. ✅

Imagine a map grid where:
– Streets run horizontally (x-axis).
– Avenues run vertically (y-axis).
To meet your friend at (2, 3):
➡️ Go 2 blocks east and 3 blocks north.

Coordinate Plane in Video Games 🎮
Ever wondered how characters move in games?
Developers use the coordinate plane to program movement!
– (x, y) tells the game exactly where to place objects.
Cool, right?

The coordinate plane is also called the Cartesian plane, named after René Descartes.
He invented it in the 1600s to merge algebra and geometry—one of the biggest math breakthroughs!
