Cartesian grid positive coordinates
Test your understanding of cartesian grid positive coordinates by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
A cartesian grid is just two number lines that are at right angles to each other.
🎙️
A point can be given coordinates where the first number is how far left and right, and the second number is how far up and down.
🎙️
The first number, how far right of zero, is 3 for this point.
🎙️
The second number, how far up from zero, is 2 for this point
🎙️
So the coordinates of this point are 3, comma, 2
