What are coordinates?
Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a grid.
In a 2D coordinate system, what does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?
The first number represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position.
In a 2D coordinate system, what does the second number in a coordinate pair represent?
The second number represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position.
True or False: The origin in a coordinate system is located at (0, 0).
True
