Stating & Plotting the coordinates of points

[Mathematic Form 2] Stating & Plotting the coordinates of points

ALWAYS remember:

• When stating the coordinates of a point, the x-coordinate is always written first, followed by the y-coordinate.
• The x-coordinate of all points on the y-axis is always zero.
• The y-coordinate of all points on x-axis is zero.

(x, y)
x => x-coordinate (x units from the y-axis) 
y => y-coordinate (y units from the x-axis)

Example:

Plot the following point on the graph given.

• P (3, 4)
• Q (-2, 0)
• R (4, -1)
• S (0, 2)
• T (-3, -3)
• U (-1, 4)
