point A on Cartesian plane
Point A on the Cartesian plane is represented by a pair of coordinates (x, y), where x represents the distance of the point from the y-axis (left or right) and y represents the distance of the point from the x-axis (up or down).
To locate point A on a Cartesian plane, you need the coordinates of the point. The coordinates consist of an x-coordinate (horizontal value) and a y-coordinate (vertical value). Let's assume point A has coordinates (x, y).
To plot point A on the Cartesian plane, follow these steps:
1. Locate the x-axis and y-axis on the Cartesian plane.
2. Move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate value.
3. Move vertically from the x-axis to the y-coordinate value on the y-axis.
4. Where the horizontal and vertical lines intersect is point A on the Cartesian plane.
Remember, the x-axis represents the horizontal direction, and the y-axis represents the vertical direction. The point (0, 0) usually represents the origin, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.
