How will you describe the position of a table lamp on your study table to another person?
For describing the position of table lamp on the study table, we take two lines, a perpendicular and a horizontal line. Considering the table as a plane(x and y axis) and taking perpendicular line as Y axis and horizontal as X axis respectively. Take one corner of table as origin where both X and Y axes intersect each other. Now, the length of table is Y axis and breadth is X axis. From The origin, join the line to the table lamp and mark a point. The distances of the point from both X and Y axes should be calculated and then should be written in terms of coordinates.
The distance of the point from X- axis and Y- axis is x and y respectively, so the table lamp will be in (x, y) coordinate.
Here, (x, y) = (15, 25)

Plot the points (x, y) given in the following table on the plane, choosing suitable units of distance on the axes. x → -2, -1, 0, 1, 3 y → 8, 7, -1.25, 3, -1
