I assume you wanted to write (5, 2) but the editor would not allow it.
Start where the axes cross and go 5 to the right and 2 up.

Lets say your ordered pair is (1,2). You would first go one to the right and then two up. If it was (-1,-2) then you would go one left and then two down.
A point is plotted on the Cartesian Coordinate System firstly by the X axis and then the Y axis. Though in other words firstly to plot your point you find a number on the horizontal line and then a number on the vertical line. Once you have done that just intersect the 2 until they both meet up at a coordinate and you will get a plotted point.
A coordinate grid is made of up a horizontal X-axis and a vertical Y-axis. One uses the numbers along each axis to plot points. Points are listed as coordinates in an (X, Y) format. To graph a point on a coordinate grid you need to mark the point at which the X value and Y value intersect. For example, if you had a given point of (2, 5), you would find the line corresponding to 2 on the X-axis and you would find the line corresponding to 5 on the Y-axis. Wherever these two lines cross on the coordinate grid, you make a point. Simple as that!
In an ordered pair like (2, 5), the first number is the x-coordinate. It is the horizontal distance to the right from the Origin to that point.
On the 2-dimensional coordinate plane it is a point that is on the y-axis, two units of length away from the origin.
