What is a coordinate graph?

Co-ordinate graph:

Co-ordinate graph is used to locate points. Each point can be identified by  a number on the $x$-axis called an $x$-coordinate, and a number on the $y$-axis called a $y$-coordinate. 

The $x$-coordinate tells you how many steps you have to take to the right on the $x$-axis. And the y-coordinate tells you have many steps to move up on the $y$-axis.

The location of (2,5) is shown on the graph below. The $x$-coordinate is 2. The $y$-coordinate is 3. To locate (2,3), move 2 units to the right on the $x$-axis and 3 units up on the $y$-axis.
