Solution
We need pair of (or two) coordinates for representing a point on the graph sheet.
Explanation:
The x coordinate and the y co-ordinate are the two or a pair of point required to plot the point on graph paper.
The distance of point from x-axis makes y co-ordinate and distance of point from y-axis makes x co-ordinate.
