Data on Coordinate Plane

A point has coordinates (5, 2). If you were to plot this point on a coordinate plane, what does the 5 tell you to do?

• From the origin, move along the 𝑥 −axis 5 units up.

• From the origin, move along the 𝑦 −axis 5 units up.

• From the origin, move along the 𝑥 − axis 5 units right.

• From the origin, move along the 𝑦 −axis 5 units right.
