How many steps to the right of the origin is the point? How many steps above it?
C
To find the x-coordinate of P, we count the number of units that it is placed to the right of the origin. Similarly, to find y-coordinate, we count the number of units that it is above the origin.
From the diagram, we see that P is located 3 units to the right of the origin and 5 units above it. Then, its coordinates are x= 3 and y= 5, which we can write as ( 3, 5). Therefore, the correct option is C.
