graph c
○ d.
graph d

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate notation

A point $(x,y)$ means $x$ is horizontal, $y$ vertical.

Step2: Locate $x=-6$ on x-axis

Move 6 units left from origin $(0,0)$.

Step3: Locate $y=9$ on y-axis

Move 9 units up from origin $(0,0)$.

Step4: Match to correct graph

Find graph with point at $(-6,9)$.

Answer:

C. (The graph with the point at 6 units left on the x-axis and 9 units up on the y-axis)
