What are the two axes on the coordinate plane called?

The two axes are called the X-axis and the Y-axis.

Explain how to plot the point (2, 5) on the coordinate plane.

Start at the origin (0,0). Move 2 units to the right along the x-axis, then move 5 units up along the y-axis. Place a point at that location.

Move 1 unit to the left along the x-axis, then move 4 units up along the y-axis.

I can plot points on a coordinate plane using ordered pairs.

1
The coordinate plane is a 2-Dimensional version of a number line and is the platform our graphing will take place on.
2
Coordinates, also known as ordered pairs, are written in parentheses, (X, Y), and use two numbers to specify the location of a point on the coordinate plane.
3
The coordinate plane is divided into four regions called quadrants, and the first quadrant contains points where both the X and Y values are positive.
