For the ordered pair $\displaystyle (2,3)$

The first number is for the x-axis, so because it is positive you go right $\displaystyle 2$.

The second number is for the y-axis, so because it is positive you go up $\displaystyle 3$.

For the ordered pair $\displaystyle (-3,5)$ we would do the following.

The first number is for the x-axis, so because it is negative you go left $\displaystyle 3$ units.

The second number is for the y-axis, so because it is positive you go up $\displaystyle 5$ units.

To find out which quadrant a point lives in, we need to remember the qualities of each quadrant. By qualities, I mean the signs associated with the x and y values which are dependent on the quadrant the point resides in.

All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant I will have a positive x value and a positive y value.

All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant II will have a negative x value and a positive y value.

All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant III will have a negative x value and a negative y value.

All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant IV will have a positive x value and a negative y value.

For the point $\displaystyle (-3, -3)$ we see that both the x and y values are negative therefore, the point lies in the third quadrant. We can also check this by starting from the origin and going left 3 units and down 3 units. This will end up in the lower-left section of the coordinate-plane, which is Quadrant III.

Find the x-coordinate by going right on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly under the point. The x-coordinate is $\displaystyle 2$.

Now, continue up until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is $\displaystyle 4$.

$\displaystyle (2,4)$ is then the coordinate of the point.

Find the x-coordinate by going right on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly under the point. The x-coordinate is $\displaystyle 2$.

Now, continue up until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is $\displaystyle 6$.

$\displaystyle (2, 6)$ are the coordinates for point A.

Find the x-coordinate by going left on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly above the point. The x-coordinate is $\displaystyle -4$.

Now, continue down until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is $\displaystyle -2$.

$\displaystyle (-4, -2)$ are the coordinates for point C.

Find the x-coordinate by going left on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly under the point. The x-coordinate is $\displaystyle -4$.

Now, continue up until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is $\displaystyle 4$.

$\displaystyle (-4, 4)$ are the coordinates for point D.

Find the x-coordinate by going right on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly above the point. The x-coordinate is $\displaystyle 2$.

Now, continue down until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is $\displaystyle -2$.

$\displaystyle (2, -2)$ are the coordinates for point E.

Find the x-coordinate by going left on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly above the point. The x-coordinate is $\displaystyle -4$.

Now, continue down until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is $\displaystyle -6$.

$\displaystyle (-4, -6)$ are the coordinates for point F.

Find the x-coordinate by going right on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly under the point. The x-coordinate is $\displaystyle 2$.

Now, continue up until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is $\displaystyle 3$.

$\displaystyle (2, 3)$ are the coordinates for point G.
