Points and Their Coordinates: y Axis

The document discusses the Cartesian plane and plotting points using ordered pairs of coordinates. It provides examples of plotting points in different quadrants of the plane based on their x and y values. Points with one coordinate being 0 are shown to lie on the x or y axis rather than in a quadrant. The key aspects covered are the Cartesian plane, ordered pairs, plotting points in quadrants based on sign and value of coordinates, and points lying on axes when one coordinate is 0.

C(– 6, – 4) B(2, – 3)
These points all lie in different quadrants.
What do you notice about their coordinates?
Plot the following points.
E(5, 0) y

F(0, 6)
F(0, 6)

G(– 7, 0)
E(5, 0)
H(0, – 3) x
G(– 7, 0)
H(0, – 3)

These points all lie on the axes, not in quadrants.
