Given that Allie identifies the coordinates of point D as:


(3,7)

You need to remember that a point has this form:


(x,y)

Where "x" is the x-coordinate and "y" is the y-coordinate.

Instead of writing the point in that form, Alli wrote it as:


(y,x)

You can identify in the Coordinate Plane that point D is 7 units right to the Origin and 3 units above the Origin. Therefore, its x-coordinate is:


x=7

And its y-coordinate is:


y=3

Hence, the answer is: Alli wrote point D in this form:


(y,x)

And that is incorrect because the order of the coordinates of a point is:


(x,y)

The coordinates of point D are:


(7,3)
