On a grid/graph the horizontal axis is the x-axis. The vertical axis is the y-axis.

So to select any point on the grid is always given by ( x, y). NEVER ( y,x).

The origin of the grid is is where the two axes intersect . It has the coordinates of ( 0 , 0)

A point given by ( 1,2 ) means from the origin, move one place to the right. Then two places up from the 'one'.

A point given by ( -2, -1) means move TWO places to the left of the origin on the x-axis. , then move ONE down from the x-axis .

Similarly for any other given point.

The pair of numbers used to locate points on a grid is called a coordinate. In a Cartesian coordinate system, these coordinates are typically expressed as (x, y), where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position. Together, they uniquely identify a specific point on the grid.
