Question

graph the points (-1, 6) and (-8, 5) on the coordinate plane. click to graph a point. click the point again to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate x - coordinate of first point

For the point (-1, 6), start at the origin. Move 1 unit to the left along the x - axis since the x - coordinate is - 1.

Step2: Locate y - coordinate of first point

From the position on the x - axis found in Step1, move 6 units up along the y - axis since the y - coordinate is 6 and mark the point.

Step3: Locate x - coordinate of second point

For the point (-8, 5), start at the origin. Move 8 units to the left along the x - axis as the x - coordinate is - 8.

Step4: Locate y - coordinate of second point

From the position on the x - axis found in Step3, move 5 units up along the y - axis since the y - coordinate is 5 and mark the point.

Answer:

The points (-1, 6) and (-8, 5) are graphed on the coordinate - plane following the above steps.
