Definition of Point

A point is a zero dimensional object. It has no size, but just has a position.

The diagram shows three points plotted in the \(xy\)-plane. They are marked by small circles to indicate their positions, but they should really be invisible.

We usually give points a name like \(A\), \(B\) or \(C\) etc.
