Question

graph the point (-3, -3.5) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x - coordinate

The x - coordinate of the point is - 3. Move 3 units to the left of the origin (since it's negative) along the x - axis.

Step2: Identify y - coordinate

The y - coordinate of the point is - 3.5. From the position on the x - axis found in Step 1, move 3.5 units down (since it's negative) parallel to the y - axis and mark the point.

Answer:

The point (-3, -3.5) is graphed on the coordinate - plane by moving 3 units left on the x - axis and 3.5 units down on the y - axis from the origin.
