graafikupunkt

A graafikupunkt, or graph point, is a fundamental concept in mathematics and computer science, representing a specific location on a coordinate plane. It is defined by an ordered pair of numbers, typically denoted as (x, y), where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position. The origin (0, 0) is the central point from which all other points are measured. In two-dimensional Cartesian coordinates, the x-axis runs horizontally and the y-axis runs vertically. The position of a graafikupunkt is uniquely determined by its x and y values. For example, the point (3, 2) is located three units to the right of the origin and two units up. Conversely, (-1, -4) is located one unit to the left and four units down. These points are essential for plotting functions, visualizing data, and defining shapes in geometry. In higher dimensions, a graafikupunkt can be represented by more than two coordinates, such as (x, y, z) in three-dimensional space. The precise meaning and application of a graafikupunkt can vary depending on the context, but its core function remains the identification of a specific location.
