graph the point (10, -5) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x-coordinate

The x - coordinate of the point \((10, - 5)\) is \(10\). On the coordinate plane, move along the x - axis (horizontal axis) to the position where \(x = 10\). This is at the rightmost major tick mark labeled \(10\) on the x - axis.

Step2: Identify y-coordinate

The y - coordinate of the point \((10, - 5)\) is \(-5\). From the position where \(x = 10\) on the x - axis, move down along the vertical line (parallel to the y - axis) until we reach the level where \(y=-5\). Looking at the y - axis, the grid lines are spaced by \(1\) unit. Starting from \(y = 0\) (the x - axis), moving down \(5\) units gives \(y=-5\). The intersection of the vertical line through \(x = 10\) and the horizontal line through \(y=-5\) is the point \((10, - 5)\). To graph it, mark this intersection point on the coordinate plane.

Answer:

The point \((10, - 5)\) is graphed by moving 10 units to the right along the x - axis from the origin \((0,0)\) and then 5 units down along the vertical line through \(x = 10\) (the location is at the intersection of \(x = 10\) and \(y=-5\) on the coordinate plane).
