Basics of Coordinate Geometry

Secondary 1

Cartesian plane which consists of two number lines, i.e., the \(y\)-axis (vertical line) and \(x\)-axis (horizontal line).


The origin is the point \(O\) where the two axes intersect.


Each point \(A\) in the plane is located by an ordered pair \(\left( x,y \right)\). Where the \(x\)-coordinate of \(A\) is \(x\) and the \(y\)-coordinate of \(A\) is \(y\).


Write down the coordinates of each of point shown in the figure below.
