Answer:

C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

You're trying to find a true statement about the point (1,7)

A. To plot the ordered pair (1 , 7), travel seven units to the right on the x-axis and one unit up on the y-axis, from the origin.

B. To plot the ordered pair (1 , 7), travel one unit to the right on the y-axis and seven units up on the x-axis, from the origin.

C. To plot the ordered pair (1 , 7), travel one unit to the right on the x-axis and seven units up on the y-axis, from the origin.

D. To plot the ordered pair (1 , 7), travel seven unit to the right on the y-axis and one units up on the x-axis, from the origin.

_____________________________________________________
Solving:

A is incorrect because it shows the point (7,1).

D is incorrect because that isn't the proper way to graph a coordinate.

B is incorrect because it says travel one unit to the right on the y axis which is the incorrect axis to graph the point (1,7).

C is your correct answer because you need to move 1 unit to the right on the x-axis to get to the coordinate (1,0). Then, you need to go 7 units up on the y-axis to reach (1,7).
