The origin is the center of the grid. This is where the x and y axis meet. The location of this point is (0,0).
Start at the origin and move 5 places to the right. Note how the x coordinate is 5 which tells us how to move left/right. Positive x values mean we go right.
Then we go down 2 spots to arrive at point D. We move down because the y coordinate is negative.
You could also start at (0,0) and go down 2 first, then to the right 5 to also arrive at point D. Convention usually has x going first as (x,y) has x listed first.
Step-by-step explanation: 1st you multiply the whole numbers. 2nd multiply denominators (8•9) =72 3rd put into fraction form. So your answer is 54 1/72. Does this make sense?
