12.2 Graphing Ordered Pairs MATHPOWER™ Eigit, p. 429 ‘When plotting ordered pairs on a grid, the horizontal number line is called the x-axis, The vertical number line is called the y-axis. Tho two lines meet at the origin. The first number of an ordered pair is the x-coordinate. The second number is the y-coordinate, 1. State the coordinates of each point.
