The x-coordinate represents the horizontal shift, starting from the origin, and the y-coordinate represents the vertical shift.
An ( x, y) ordered pair is plotted in a coordinate plane by finding the x-coordinate on the horizontal axis and the y-coordinate on the vertical axis. For the given point, A( 2, 4), this means tracing two units in the positive horizontal direction starting from the origin, then four units in the positive vertical direction.
