If you mean the point of (2, 5) then the 1st step is to move 2 units to the right of the origin then move 5 units up to locate the given point.

To graph the point (2, 5) - if that's what you mean - you need to start from the origin, and go 2 units to the right, and 5 up. You can also go 5 units up first, and THEN 2 units to the right. You can even go part of the way to the right (for instance, 1 unit), then some units up, and then later go the remaining unit to the right. But in this case, you need to keep track of how many units you already walked in each direction.
Not if the current theories about its origin and developments are correct.
They are the x and y axes on the Cartesian plane that intersect each at right angles at the point of origin which is (0, 0)
The horizontal line is the x axis and the vertical line is the y axis with both axes being perpendicular to each other and meeting at the point of origin at (0, 0) on the Cartesian plane.
