Solution
The process of fixing a point with the help of the coordinates is known as plotting of the point.
Explanation:
To locate the exact position of a point we need two coordinates viz, the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate and this process of finding the position or representing the numbers on a graph sheet with the help of the coordinates is known as plotting of the point.

Ajita starts off from home at 07.00 hours with her father on a scooter that goes at a uniform speed of 30 km/h and drops her at her school after half an hour. She stays in the school till 13.30 hours and takes an auto-rickshaw to return home. The rickshaw has a uniform speed of 10 km/h. Draw the graph for the above situation and also determine the distance of Ajita’s school from her house.
