In a residual plot, residuals represent the differences between the observed values and the predicted values from a regression model. For a dataset containing 6 points, the residuals can be either positive or negative. While it's theoretically possible for all 6 residuals to be above the x-axis, indicating that all predictions are underestimating the actual values, the actual number will depend on the specific relationship between the observed and predicted values in the dataset. Thus, any number from 0 to 6 residuals can be above the x-axis.
Let's say that you fit a simple regression line y = mx + b to a set of (x,y) data points. In a typical research situation the regression line will not touch all of the points; it might not touch any of them. The vertical difference between the y-co-ordinate of one of the data points and the y value of the regression line for the x-co-ordinate of that data point is called a residual.There will be one residual for each data point.To see some labelled diagrams of residuals search images.google.com for residuals.
Any metric or non-metric units can be represented by points on the plotted line.
If it is plotted correctly, there is no reason for it to be anything but accurate.

To create a residual plot on a Casio graphing calculator, first enter your data points into a list. Then, use the regression function to calculate the best-fit line for your data. After obtaining the regression equation, compute the residuals by subtracting the predicted values from the actual values and store them in a new list. Finally, plot the residuals against the independent variable using the graphing feature of the calculator.

They are the data points, plotted on the appropriate coordinates!
No they are not identical points because when plotted on the Cartesian plane they will be in different places.
