- 1
Graphing is a way of making a visual representation of an equation or data set so you can understand it better.

The coordinate plane is formed by combining two perpendicular number lines, called the X-axis and the Y-axis.
- 3
Coordinates are written as (x, y), where the first number represents the position on the X-axis and the second number represents the position on the Y-axis.
