Work Step by Step

In a plane, we define a rectangular coordinate system by drawing two perpendicular number lines, intersecting at their respective zeros. The horizontal number line is called the x-axis, and the vertical is the y-axis. The intersection of the axes is called the origin. An ordered pair corresponds to each point in the plane, with the first coordinate taken from the x-axis, and the second from the y-axis. --- Plotting $(0,0)$, we start at the origin, $ x=0\Rightarrow$ we move neither to the left nor right, $ y=0\Rightarrow$ and neither up nor down.... (we stay at the origin.)
