Moving Points on Coordinate Plane

Which of these is a correct process for plotting the point (4,3) on the coordinate plane?

• Start at the top of the y-axis. Move 3 units to the right, and then move 4 units down. Plot the point there.

• Start at the top of the y-axis. Move 3 units down the y-axis, and then move 4 units to the right. Plot the point there.

• Start at the origin. Move 4 units to the right, and then move 3 units up. Plot the point there.

• Start at the origin. Move 4 units up the y-axis, and then move 3 units to the right. Plot the point there.
