Answer
The method of plotting a point in the rectangular coordinate system involves the counting of the units on the horizontal and the vertical axis.
Work Step by Step
Consider the rectangular coordinate system. To plot a point in the rectangular coordinate system, the unit is counted along the x-axis from the origin and similarly, the other unit is counted along the y-axis from the origin. A perpendicular line from each axis passes through these counted units. These perpendicular lines intersect at a point. This point is the required plot in the rectangular coordinate system. The coordinates are represented in a bracket holding the one value of the unit on the x-axis and the other value of the unit on the y-axis. This bracket holds the first value from the x-axis and the second value from the y-axis.
