Steps of marking a Point on a graph

Plane divided into 4 parts by Coordinate Axis

To describe position of points in a plane

Two perpendicular line

X-axis

Y-axis

Fixed Point: Origin

X Coordinate

Abscissa: Perpendicular distance from Y axis

Y coordinate

Ordinate: Perpendicular distance from x axis

Point where x and y axis intersect O(0,0)

Step 1: Draw coordinate axis and select unts

Step 2: Starting from the origin, count units on x and y axis

Step 3: Mark the corresponding points
