Cartesian grid point to x and y values

This math skill teaches how to find the x and y values of a point on a Cartesian grid by determining its horizontal (rightward) and vertical (upward) distances from the origin, and how to express this point as a coordinate pair (x, y).

Teaching Transcript

🎙️

Let's find the X and Y values of this point

X is how far right. This point is 4 to the right of zero, so X is 4

Y is how far up. This point is 3 up from zero, so Y is 3

If X is 4 and Y is 3, we would write our X Y coordinate as 4 comma 3
