How many steps to the right of the origin is the point? How many steps above it?
(3,1)
Practice makes perfect
To find the x-coordinate of B, 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 B is located 3 units to the right of the origin and 1 unit above it. Then, its coordinates are x= 3 and y= 1, which we can write as ( 3, 1).
