You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start at the origin (where the the x and y axis intersect)

Now move your pencil 1 unit to the right
We move 1 unit in this direction since the x-coordinate is 1 (its the first number of the pair)





Now go 1 unit up
We move 1 unit in this direction since the y-coordinate is 1 (its the second number of the pair)




Plot a point where the pencil lands



So here is the point (1,1)




Note: The point (1,1) is in the first quadrant
