How can you find the coordinates of a point on the coordinates plane?

Points on a coordinate graph are always written (x,y). The X value is equivalent to the location of the point along the horizontal X-axis. This number comes first. If the point is to the right of the main vertical line, its positive; if its to the left, its negative. The Y value equals the location of the point on the Y-axis. If the point is above the main horizontal line, its positive; below this line is negative.
