How are XYZ coordinates written?
The coordinates are usually written as two numbers in parentheses, in that order, separated by a comma, as in (3, −10.5). Thus the origin has coordinates (0, 0), and the points on the positive half-axes, one unit away from the origin, have coordinates (1, 0) and (0, 1).
Do you write coordinates xy?
Coordinates are written as (x, y) meaning the point on the x axis is written first, followed by the point on the y axis. Some children may be taught to remember this with the phrase ‘along the corridor, up the stairs’, meaning that they should follow the x axis first and then the y.

- Coordinate containing degrees (integer), minutes (integer), and seconds (integer, or real number) (DMS).
- Coordinate containing degrees (integer) and minutes (real number) (MinDec).
- Coordinate containing only degrees (real number) (DegDec).

How do you write coordinates in a research paper?
Write the latitude and longitude coordinates.
When writing latitude and longitude, write latitude first, followed by a comma, and then longitude. For example, the above lines of latitude and longitude would be written as “15°N, 30°E.”
What is an example of a coordinates?
A set of values that show an exact position. On graphs it is usually a pair of numbers: the first number shows the distance along, and the second number shows the distance up or down. Example: the point (12,5) is 12 units along, and 5 units up.
