Question

graph the point (-10, 3) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate \(x\) - coordinate

On the \(x\) - axis, negative values are to the left of the origin. For \(x=-10\), we move 10 units left from \((0,0)\).

Step2: Locate \(y\) - coordinate

From the \(x=-10\) position, since \(y = 3\) (positive), we move 3 units up parallel to the \(y\) - axis. The intersection of these two movements (\(x=-10\) and \(y = 3\)) gives the point \((-10,3)\) on the coordinate plane.

Answer:

To graph the point \((-10,3)\) on the coordinate plane:

1. Locate \(x = - 10\) on the \(x\) - axis (move 10 units to the left of the origin).
2. From \(x=-10\), move 3 units up along the \(y\) - direction (since \(y = 3\)).
3. Mark the point at this location.
