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.
