over 3, up 2. It's always (x, y) for points so left or right for the first number and up or down for the second.

In a rectangular coordinate plane the point is (x,y) so you would have to go 3 on the x (3 over) and 2 on the y (2 up)

By convention, any ordered pair (x,y) gives the horizontal "over" component first, and the vertical "up" component second.
