Coordinate Plane

🔹 What Is It?

A coordinate plane is a grid with a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).
It helps us locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

🧩 Clue to Remember

Always read the x first, then the y.
Think: “Over, then up.”

🔹 Example

The point (4, 2) means:

• Move 4 units right
  
  

• Move 2 units up
  Then place the dot.
  
  

💡 Why It Matters

Coordinate planes help us graph data, draw shapes, and even navigate maps or code in games.
