Answer 1

(5, 2)

Explanation:

Coordinates of a point in a coordinate plane is usually written as (x, y). This point contains the value of x and its corresponding y value.

The red dot on the plane given, if you trace it down to the x-axis, it is at x = 5, while if you trace it horizontally against the y-axis, you'd have y = 2.

Therefore, the coordinates of the red dot is (5, 2).
