Plot

• Plotting is to place a point on a Coordinate Plane by using X and Y coordinates.

More about Plot

• Plotting gives the exact Position of a point on a coordinate grid.

Example of Plot

• To Plot a point (2, 3) on the coordinate plane, start from the Origin and move 2 units to the right and then move 3 units up. Place the point as a dot. So, the pink point marked by P shows the plotting of (2, 3).
