You use the point's $x$ $x$ and $y$ $y$ -coordinates to plot it.

Explanation:

The general form of a point $A$ $A$ is given as

$A (x -coordinate, y -coordinate)$ $color(blue)(A(x"-coordinate", y"-coordinate"))" "$ , where

$x$ $x$ -coordinate tells you what the point's coordinate is on the $x$ $x$ -axis;
$y$ $y$ -coordinate tells you what the point's coordinate is on the $y$ $y$ -axis.

In your case, you know that point $X$ $"X"$ is given to you as

$X (1, 10)$ $"X"(1, 10)$

This means that if you start from the origin of the coordonate axes, you need to go one unit on the $x$ $x$ -axis to $x = 1$ $x=1$ and ten units on the $y$ $y$ -axis to $y = 10$ $y=10$ .

Here's how your point would look

graph{(x-1)^2 + (y-10)^2 <= 1/50 [-8.06, 9.72, 3.91, 12.8]}

An alternative way of thinking about this is that your point is the intersection of the vertical line that goes through $x = 1$ $x=1$ and the horizontal line that goes through $y = 10$ $y = 10$ .
