Move to the right 6.5 units.
Move up 6.5 units.
Plot the point.

Answer 1

After Mae moves right along the x-axis to 5, the next step is to move up 6.5 units along the y-axis from the point (5, 0) to reach the point (5, 6.5).

So, the correct next step is:

**Move up 6.5 units.**

After that, she can plot the point at (5, 6.5).
