Question

graph the point $(-6, -1)$ on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the x - coordinate

The x - coordinate of the point \((-6,-1)\) is \(-6\). On the x - axis, move 6 units to the left of the origin (since it is negative).

Step2: Locate the y - coordinate

The y - coordinate of the point \((-6,-1)\) is \(-1\). From the point on the x - axis (where \(x = - 6\)), move 1 unit down (since the y - coordinate is negative). Mark this point.

Answer:

The point \((-6,-1)\) is graphed 6 units left on the x - axis and 1 unit down on the y - axis from the origin.
