Coordinate of a Point in XY – Plane

The Perpendicular distance of x a point from the y-axis is called its x-coordinate or abscissa. The perpendicular distance y of a point from the x-axis is called its y-coordinate or ordinate. The x and y taken together in order is called coordinte of point denoted by (x, y).
The coordinate of the points on x-axis are of the form (x, 0) and the points on the y-axis are of the form(0, y). Coordinate of origin is (0, 0).

Sign-conventions in the XY-Plane

The x and y-axis divide the plane into four parts known as quadrants denoted by I, II, III and IV. The sign of x and y-coordinates in each of the quadrant is shown below:
