See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Points on the coordinate plane are notated as (x, y) where

x is the position on the x-axis or horizontal axis

y is the position on the y-axis or vertical axis

First, because the x value for point A is 3.5 and is positive, we go 3.5 units to the right on the x or horizontal axis starting at the origin:

Next, because the y value for point A is 4 and is positive, we go 4 units up on the y or vertical axis:
