Coordinate Grid Q1 — (4, 8) — free printable diagram

Where is (4, 8) on a coordinate grid?

This first-quadrant 0 to 10 grid has a single point plotted at (4, 8) — 4 right of the origin and 8 up.

0 to 10 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 (4, 8).
• To plot it, start at the origin (0, 0), move 4 right, then move 8 up.
• Both coordinates are non-zero, so the point sits inside a quadrant — quadrant I, which is where x is positive and y is positive.
• This grid is a first-quadrant 0 to 10 plane, so every axis is numbered from 0 to 10.
