The point (x,y) is |y} units above or below the origin
For example,
(2,3) is 2 to the right and 3 up
(4,-7) is 4 to the right and 7 down
Read up on how to plot points in the plane, and it should become clear.
How do you figure out what is the vertical distance from the origin to the point? How do you figure this out? I am a very confused fifth grader.
