A comprehensive course covering essential 8th grade math concepts to prepare students for high school and real-world problem solving.
The coordinate plane is a grid formed by two perpendicular lines: the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).
Each point is represented as \((x, y)\), where \(x\) is the distance along the x-axis and \(y\) is the distance along the y-axis.
You can graph linear equations by plotting points that satisfy the equation and drawing a straight line through them.
Maps, video games, and sports strategies often use coordinate planes to plot locations or movements.
Mapping your route from home to school using coordinates.
Plotting scores on a graph to see trends over time.
Using the coordinate plane to plot points and graph equations.
