Imagine the top surface of your desk
stretching in every direction.
If it continued to spread , it
would go right through your
neighbor . . .
. . . and then through the classroom
walls . . .
. . . and through the school and
the hills and the mountains and
out into space until it went on
forever in every direction.
Then you would have a plane.
In mathematics, a plane is a flat
surface that goes on forever in
every direction.
In Algebra, we often use the
coordinate plane.
The coordinate plane is divided
by two number lines. One is
horizontal, like the number line
you already know.

The other is vertical, with up
being the positive direction and
down being the negative
direction.

The coordinate plane is filled
with points . . .
. . . infinitely many points.
And somewhere among all those
points is the point we call the
origin.
The origin is the
point where the
two number lines
meet.

To study a point, we need to know
where to find it. So we give it
coordinates.
Coordinates are like an address.
They tell you how you can get to a
point if you start at the origin.
Coordinates are
always written in
parentheses, with
the x-value first.
