Question

Your friend is graphing the point (2,5). Her first step is to start at the origin and go up 2 units. Is her method correct?

Answer 1

No it is not.

You would start at the orgin (0,0) and move to the right 2
You would then be at (2,0)
Now, you would move up 5
This will leave you at (2,5)

Hope this helps
