Answer
3 points plotted
  1. (2, 3) is in quadrant I.
  2. (-1, 4) is in quadrant II.
  3. (4, -2) is in quadrant IV.

How to use the coordinate plotter calculator

The coordinate plane plotter helps students visualize ordered pairs and quadrants before moving into graphing functions.

  1. Enter points as comma-separated pairs.
  2. The plotter draws each point on a coordinate grid.
  3. Use the result to identify quadrants and relative positions.

Formula or method

An ordered pair (x, y) moves x units horizontally and y units vertically from the origin.

Worked examples
