Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the location on a coordinate plane we first look at the -axis, which runs horizontal and then the -axis, which runs vertical. We write the point on the -axis first, followed by the point on the -axis. 

The yellow circle is over  on the -axis and up  on the -axis.
