Coordinate Grid — (0, -2) — free printable diagram

Where is (0, -2) on a coordinate grid?

This four-quadrant -5 to 5 grid has a single point plotted at (0, -2) — on the y-axis and 2 down.

-5 to 5 on both axes

• A coordinate pair is always written (x, y): the first number is how far across, the second how far up or down. Here that is (0, -2).
• To plot it, start at the origin (0, 0), stay on the y-axis, then move 2 down.
• Because the x-coordinate is 0, this point lies on the y-axis. Points on an axis are not in any quadrant.
• This grid is a four-quadrant -5 to 5 plane, so every axis is numbered from -5 to 5.
