To solve these problems, we need to move the point on the grid according to the instructions.

How to read the directions:
* Right: Move the point to the right (increase the x-coordinate).
* Left: Move the point to the left (decrease the x-coordinate).
* Up: Move the point up (increase the y-coordinate).
* Down: Move the point down (decrease the y-coordinate).

Let's find the starting position of the dot in each box and then move it. We will count the grid squares carefully.

1. 4 units up and 3 units left
* Start: The dot is at $(5, 2)$.
* Move Up 4: $y$ goes from $2$ to $6$.
* Move Left 3: $x$ goes from $5$ to $2$.
* New Position: $(2, 6)$

2. 5 units right
* Start: The dot is at $(2, 8)$.
* Move Right 5: $x$ goes from $2$ to $7$.
* New Position: $(7, 8)$

3. 4 units left and 4 units down
* Start: The dot is at $(9, 9)$.
* Move Left 4: $x$ goes from $9$ to $5$.
* Move Down 4: $y$ goes from $9$ to $5$.
* New Position: $(5, 5)$

4. 1 unit right and 7 units up
* Start: The dot is at $(3, 1)$.
* Move Right 1: $x$ goes from $3$ to $4$.
* Move Up 7: $y$ goes from $1$ to $8$.
* New Position: $(4, 8)$

5. 6 units left and 5 units up
* Start: The dot is at $(8, 4)$.
* Move Left 6: $x$ goes from $8$ to $2$.
* Move Up 5: $y$ goes from $4$ to $9$.
* New Position: $(2, 9)$

6. 5 units right and 2 units down
* Start: The dot is at $(1, 6)$.
* Move Right 5: $x$ goes from $1$ to $6$.
* Move Down 2: $y$ goes from $6$ to $4$.
* New Position: $(6, 4)$

7. 9 units down
* Start: The dot is at $(6, 9)$.
* Move Down 9: $y$ goes from $9$ to $0$.
* New Position: $(6, 0)$

8. 2 units up and 5 units right
* Start: The dot is at $(4, 2)$.
* Move Up 2: $y$ goes from $2$ to $4$.
* Move Right 5: $x$ goes from $4$ to $9$.
* New Position: $(9, 4)$

9. 3 units down and 6 units right
* Start: The dot is at $(2, 5)$.
* Move Down 3: $y$ goes from $5$ to $2$.
* Move Right 6: $x$ goes from $2$ to $8$.
* New Position: $(8, 2)$

10. 3 units right and 6 units up
* Start: The dot is at $(1, 1)$.
* Move Right 3: $x$ goes from $1$ to $4$.
* Move Up 6: $y$ goes from $1$ to $7$.
* New Position: $(4, 7)$

11. 7 units left
* Start: The dot is at $(9, 3)$.
* Move Left 7: $x$ goes from $9$ to $2$.
* New Position: $(2, 3)$

12. 8 units up and 4 units left
* Start: The dot is at $(8, 1)$.
* Move Up 8: $y$ goes from $1$ to $9$.
* Move Left 4: $x$ goes from $8$ to $4$.
* New Position: $(4, 9)$

Final Answer:
1. Plot point at (2, 6)
2. Plot point at (7, 8)
3. Plot point at (5, 5)
4. Plot point at (4, 8)
5. Plot point at (2, 9)
6. Plot point at (6, 4)
7. Plot point at (6, 0)
8. Plot point at (9, 4)
9. Plot point at (8, 2)
10. Plot point at (4, 7)
11. Plot point at (2, 3)
12. Plot point at (4, 9)
