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.
