Explanation:

Note that 0.75 is the same as 75/100 -> 3/4

Let the point be point 1 ->P_1->(x,y)=(1,0.75)

Axis are a bit like rulers or you can think of them as like number lines.

color(blue)("Step 1")

Find the value on the y-axis that is worth 0.75 -> 3/4 and mark it.
Place a ruler at that point so that the ruler is parallel to the x-axis and draw a faint horizontal line.

color(blue)("Step 2")

Find the value on the x-axis that is worth 1 and mark it. Place a ruler at that point so that the ruler is parallel the the y-axis and draw a faint vertical line.

color(blue)("Step 3")

Where the two lines cross is the point you need.
