Coordinates can be entered onto Desmos and they will be plotted.
A rule can be entered in Desmos to generate coordinates.
It is possible to spot coordinates that are not following the rule easily using Desmos.
Desmos can be used to create mathematical shapes and pictures using coordinates.

Pupils may think that coordinates that make a square/ rectangle follow a linear pattern.

In order for coordinates to follow a rule written as an equation, there needs to be a relationship between the values within a coordinate.

Origin - The origin is where the $x$ -axis and $y$ -axis cross. It has the coordinate pair (0,0).
