Hi!
I've included an image that shows where P is.
So when we write coordinates, we write them like this (x, y).
Let's find what x equals for point P.
Look at the x axis, and find where P is on it.
P is on number 5.
Now we have (5, y)
Let's find y.
Look at the y axis. See where P lines up with it.
Looks like P lines up with 0 on the y axis.
The answer is (5, 0)
Hope this helps! :)

The first (and most typical) way to find distance of two points is by using the distance formula.
One alternative is the Manhattan metric, also called the taxicab metric. This option is much more complicated, and rarely used in high school math. d(x,y)=∑i|xi-yi|
