5. Plotting Points To plot a point on the x,y axis, always start at the origin. Using the x value, move left or right on the x axis depending on whether the x value is positive or negative. Using the y value, move up or down on the y axis depending on whether the y value is positive or negative.

6. More on plotting points For every 1 point on a graph it takes two numbers to identify the correct location. Think of a game of Bingo as it needs both a letter and a number to identify the correct square.
