Locations on the coordinate plane are described as ordered pairs. An ordered pair tells you the location of a point by relating the point's location along the x-axis (the first value of the ordered pair) and along the y-axis (the second value of the ordered pair)
1. Point ( 0, 4)
The coordinate of ( 0, 4) is on the y-axis, because x = 0 and y = 4.
The point ( 0, 4) is on the y-axis at y = 4
2. Point ( 2, 5 )
Starting from the origin, go along the x-axis 2 units in a positive direction (right) and along the y-axis 5 units in a positive direction (up).
3. P( -3 , 4 )
Starting from the origin, go along the x-axis 3 units in a negative direction (left) and along the y-axis 4 units in a positive direction (up).
