Answer:

D. 6 units to the right and 3 units up

Explanation:

Given

Point (6,3)

Required

Position of the point.

The general format if a coordinated grid is (x,y)

Where x and y represent the x and y axis respectively

The following conditions are to be considered when positioning a point on a coordinate grid.

1. If x is positive, then it points to the right;

2. If x is negative, then it points to the left

3. If y is positive, then it points upwards

4. If y is negative, then it points downwards

Having said this;

By comparison

x = 6 and y = 3

x and y are both positive.

Condition 1 and 3 above are satisfied.

Hence, the grid coordinates is 6 units to the right and 3 units upwards.

Option D is correct and others are incorrect
