Answer 1

To plot the point \((-7, 3)\) on the coordinate plane starting from the origin \((0, 0)\), you will need to follow these steps:

1. **Move to the left** since the x-coordinate is negative. Specifically, move **7 units to the left** (from 0 to -7).
2. **Move up** since the y-coordinate is positive. Specifically, move **3 units up** (from 0 to 3).

Thus, the correct choice is:

**C.** Move **7** unit(s) to the left and **3** unit(s) up.
