Plotting of points on Graph Paper:
Steps:

  1. Draw a horizontal and vertical line mutually perpendicular to each other.
  2. Mark the point of inter section of two lines as ‘O’. This represent origin and horizontal line XOX’ vertical line as YOY’.
  3. The line XOX’ will show X – axis and vertical line YOY’ will Y – axis.
  4. Choose a suitable scale and marks the points on X – axis and Y – axis.
  5. Obtain the coordinates of the given point and mark point.
