Question

the point (-8,1). n the point. click for graph and then use the arrows to move the graph cursor. then click check answer. clear all question 3 of 16 back next

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate - point rules

In a two - dimensional coordinate system $(x,y)$, $x$ is the horizontal coordinate and $y$ is the vertical coordinate. For the point $(-8,1)$, $x=-8$ and $y = 1$.

Step2: Locate on the graph

Start at the origin $(0,0)$. Move 8 units to the left along the x - axis (since $x=-8$) and then 1 unit up along the y - axis (since $y = 1$) to plot the point.

Answer:

The point $(-8,1)$ is 8 units to the left of the y - axis and 1 unit above the x - axis on the coordinate plane.
