Find the coordinates of the point located 9 units to the right of the y -axis and 2 units above the x -axis.
A) (−9,2) ( - 9,2 ) (−9,2)
B) (−2,9) ( - 2,9 ) (−2,9)
C) (9,−2) ( 9 , - 2 ) (9,−2)
D) (−9,−2) ( - 9 , - 2 ) (−9,−2)
E) (9,2) ( 9,2 ) (9,2)
Y-axis
The vertical axis in a two-dimensional graph, typically used to represent the range or dependent variable in a function or data set.
X-axis
The horizontal axis in a coordinate plane, typically used as a reference line for measuring distances along the horizontal direction.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Starting from the origin, we move 9 units to the right (in the positive x-direction) and 2 units up (in the positive y-direction). Therefore, the x-coordinate is 9 and the y-coordinate is 2. The answer is (9,2), which is choice E.
