Coordinates

Overview

Coordinates pin down an exact position with a pair of numbers, turning the flat plane into a grid you can navigate precisely. They are the link between algebra and geometry: every point becomes a pair of numbers, and every line or curve becomes an equation.

In this lesson you will use and interpret Cartesian coordinates in two dimensions: reading and plotting points, understanding the axes and origin, and seeing how coordinates describe position on a grid.

Objectives

  1. Use and interpret Cartesian coordinates in two dimensions.

Lesson Note

Coordinates are the foundation of graphs, gradients and the equations of lines. Plotting and reading them accurately is the first step in all of coordinate geometry.
