[b][color=#000000]A COORDINATE is a NUMBER or a LETTER that indicates LOCATION. [/color][/b][color=#000000][br]Did you ever play Milton Bradley's game [/color][b][color=#000000]Battleship[/color][/b][color=#000000] as a kid? [br]If so, you dealt with coordinates! "A5" was either a "hit" or a "miss", right? [br]In this game, the "A" and the "5" are called coordinates. [br][br]Your mobile device can indicate your latitude and longitude. [br][b]LATITUDE and LONGITUDE[/b] are numbers that help tell a person his/her [b]LOCATION.[/b] [br]Thus, [b]LATITUDE and LONGITUDE[/b] are said to form a pair of [b]COORDINATES. [/b] [br] [br][/color]Note the coordinate plane below. [color=#0000ff]Press the [/color][color=#38761d]"New Example"[/color][color=#0000ff] button. After doing so press [/color][color=#bf9000]"Plot Point"[/color][color=#0000ff]. [br][/color]Be sure to watch the specific dynamics of how to plot a point correctly. Repeat the [b][color=#0000ff]colored step[/color][/b] above approximately 10 times. [color=#000000]Then, go to the link indicated below the applet. [/color]
