Coordinates

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position.

On graphs it is common to have a pair of numbers to show where a point is: the first number shows the distance across (x axis) and the second number shows the distance up or down (y axis). 

Example: the point (2, 5) is 2 units across, and 5 units up.
