Answer:

6 units above the x-axis

Explanation:

The pair (9,6) are a set of coordinates that indicate how far away from the origin (0,0) the point is.

The coordinates are written (x,y) where 'x' is how far to the left or right of the y-axis (vertical) the point is. The 'y' is how far above or below the x-axis (horizontal) the point is.

So in this case, the set of (9,6) means that the point is located at 9 units to the right of the origin and the y-axis and 6 units above the x-axis
