Question

graph the point (-4, 8) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand coordinate meaning

The point is (-4, 8). The first -4 is the x - coordinate and 8 is the y - coordinate.

Step2: Locate x - coordinate

Start at the origin (0, 0). Move 4 units to the left along the x - axis since the x - coordinate is - 4.

Step3: Locate y - coordinate

From the position on the x - axis (after moving 4 units left), move 8 units up along the y - axis since the y - coordinate is 8. Mark the point.

Answer:

The point (-4, 8) is graphed on the coordinate plane by moving 4 units left from the origin along the x - axis and then 8 units up along the y - axis.
