Coordinate plane

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional grid used to locate points, graphs, or objects. It consists of two perpendicular lines: the horizontal x-axis and the vertical y-axis. These axes intersect at a point called the origin (0,0). Each point on the plane is represented by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y), indicating its position relative to the axes. The coordinate plane is fundamental in mathematics for visualizing relationships, plotting graphs, and understanding spatial concepts with precision and clarity.
