Exercise 4 Page 370

How many steps above the origin is the point?

(0,2)

Practice makes perfect
We want to find the coordinates of the point that is plotted on the coordinate plane.

Note that Point S lies on the y-axis. This means that its x-coordinate is 0. To find the y-coordinate of Point S, we count the number of units that it is placed above the origin.

We can see that Point S is located on the y-axis, 2 units above the origin. This means that its coordinates are x= 0 and y= 2. Let's write this as an (x,y) coordinate pair. ( 0, 2)
