What to Focus On

  • Grids help locate points exactly.
  • The Sindhu-Sarasvati Civilisation used grid-like city planning.
  • Baudhāyana developed the Baudhāyana–Pythagoras Theorem.
  • x-axis is horizontal.
  • y-axis is vertical.
  • The origin is the point where both axes meet.
  • The plane is divided into four quadrants.
  • Quadrant signs must be memorised carefully.
  • The order of coordinates matters.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The x-axis is vertical and the y-axis is horizontal.

The origin has coordinates (x, y) because it is the starting point of the graph.

A point on the x-axis can have any y-value, and a point on the y-axis can have any x-value.

Memory Tips

The x-axis and y-axis in the coordinate plane

Origin at (0, 0)

Positive and negative directions on axes

Points on the x-axis have coordinates of the form (x, 0)
