Plotting Points in the Cartesian Coordinate System:االحداثيات الكارتيزية
Plot: We move from the origin and plot points in the following way:
y
A(– 3, 5)
5
A(– 3, 5): 3 units left, 5 units up 4 E(0, 4)
Quadrant 3 Quadrant
2
B(2, – 4): 2 units right, 4 units down II 1
I
F(0, 0) C(5, 0)
x
–5 –4 –3 –2 –1 1 2 3 4 5
C(5, 0): 5 units right, 0 units vertically –1
Quadrant – 2 Quadrant
D(– 5, – 3) – 3 Origin
D(– 5,– 3): 5 units left, 3 units down III –4
