How to Plot Ordered Pairs
Step 1 – Always find the x value
first, moving horizontally either right
(positive) or left (negative). (2, 3)

Step 2 – Starting from your new position
find the y value by moving vertically
either up (positive) or down (negative).

How to Find Ordered Pairs
Step 1 – Find how far over horizontally
the point is by counting to the right
(positive) or the left (negative). (5, )

Four Quadrants of Coordinate Grid
When
the number lines are extended into
the negative number lines you add 3 more
quadrants to the coordinate grid.
