Cartesian grid negative coordinates

Teaching Transcript

🎙️

Let's find the coordinates of this point

Cartesian coordinates to the left or below zero are represented as negatives

The first number is how far left, as a negative. So that's negative 2

The second number is how far down, as a negative, so that's negative 4

So the coordinates of this point are negative 2, comma, negative 4

This math skill teaches how to find coordinates of a point in a Cartesian grid when those coordinates fall in the negative regions both horizontally (left of the origin) and vertically (below the origin).
