Question

using the pencil, plot the point (0, -5).

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x-coordinate

The x-value of the point is $0$, so we stay on the vertical y-axis (where $x=0$).

Step2: Identify y-coordinate

The y-value of the point is $-5$, so we move 5 units downward from the origin $(0,0)$ along the y-axis to the mark labeled $-5$.

Step3: Plot the point

Mark the location at the intersection of $x=0$ and $y=-5$ on the grid.

Answer:

The point is plotted on the y-axis, 5 units below the origin at the position corresponding to $(0, -5)$.
