Question

graph the point (-8, 3) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the x - coordinate

On the x - axis, move to \(x=-8\). Since \(-8\) is negative, it is 8 units to the left of the origin (\(x = 0\)).

Step2: Locate the y - coordinate

From \(x=-8\), move up 3 units along the vertical line (parallel to the y - axis) because the y - coordinate \(y = 3\) is positive.

Answer:

Plot the point at the intersection of \(x=-8\) and \(y = 3\) on the coordinate plane.
