Graphing on the Coordinate Plane

A student will graph the point (5, 3) on a coordinate grid. Which steps can the student take in order to graph the point correctly?

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units up. Move 3 units right. Graph the point.

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units right. Move 3 units right. Graph the point.
