The question

Question: plot (0, 0).

(0, 0)

The first number is x.

It says left or right.

It is 0, so we stay on the y-axis.

x = 0 → stay

The second number is y.

It says up or down.

It is 0, so we stay on the x-axis.

y = 0 → stay

1 Start at 0

Draw the grid.

The x-axis goes across.

The y-axis goes up and down.

They meet at 0.

That point is called the origin.

Start at 0, where the axes meet.

Both numbers are 0.

Put a dot here.

This is the point (0, 0).

It is the origin.
