Question

graph the point (-3, -9) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate x-coordinate -3

Move 3 units left from origin $(0,0)$ on the x-axis.

Step2: Locate y-coordinate -9

From the x=-3 position, move 9 units down along the vertical line to reach y=-9.

Step3: Mark the point

Place a dot at the intersection of x=-3 and y=-9.

Answer:

The point $(-3, -9)$ is plotted 3 units left of the y-axis and 9 units below the x-axis on the coordinate plane.
