1 answer

The point (3, 12) on the coordinate plane indicates that it is located at 3 units to the right and 12 units above the origin (the point (0,0)). The first number, 3, represents the x-coordinate or the horizontal position on the plane, while the second number, 12, represents the y-coordinate or the vertical position on the plane.
