The x value is the first of a coordinate pair and tells you how far from the y axis the point is.
The horizontal value in a pair of coordinates: how far along the point is.
its how far it goes on the x-axis and how far it goes up on the y-axis its written as (x,y) you could have (4,5)... (-6,0)... (0,0)... (4,-5)
One number tells you how far left or right to go from the starting point, and the other number tells you how far up or down to go from the starting point. With those two numbers, you can lead anyone to any point in the infinite plane.
The coordinate grid consists of a pair of axes that intersect at a point called the origin. These are usually at right angles to one another, with one axes going horizontally. from left to right, and the other going vertically, from bottom to top. The first value in the ordered pair determines how far to the right of the origin the point should be and the second determines how far up the grid it should be. Negative values simply indicate that the distances should be measured in the opposite direction(s).
