How many steps to the right of the origin is the point? How many steps above it?
(9,6)
Practice makes perfect
To find the x-coordinate of D, 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 D is located 9 units to the right of the origin and 6 unit above it. Then, its coordinates are x= 9 and y= 6, which we can write as ( 9, 6).
