Points on the coordinate plane

In this article, we're going to plot points in the coordinate plane. We'll start in the first quadrant.

Let's start by going to $\blueD7$start color #11accd, 7, end color #11accd on the $x$x-axis:

Now we go up $\goldD4$start color #e07d10, 4, end color #e07d10, and plot the point $(\blueD7, \goldD4)$left parenthesis, start color #11accd, 7, end color #11accd, comma, start color #e07d10, 4, end color #e07d10, right parenthesis:

Let's start by going to $\blueD{-5}$start color #11accd, minus, 5, end color #11accd on the $x$x-axis:

Now we go down $\goldD9$start color #e07d10, 9, end color #e07d10, and plot the point $(\blueD{-5}, \goldD{-9})$left parenthesis, start color #11accd, minus, 5, end color #11accd, comma, start color #e07d10, minus, 9, end color #e07d10, right parenthesis:
