Question

graph the point (8, - 6). graph the point. click the graph and then use the arrows to move the graph cursor. then click check answer. clear all review progress question 1 of 16

Explanation:

Step1: Understand coordinate system

In a two - dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, a point is represented as $(x,y)$. Here $x = 8$ and $y=-6$.

Step2: Locate x - coordinate

Start at the origin $(0,0)$. Move 8 units to the right along the x - axis since the x - coordinate is positive 8.

Step3: Locate y - coordinate

From the position on the x - axis (at $x = 8$), move 6 units down along the y - axis because the y - coordinate is negative 6. Mark the point.

Answer:

The point $(8,-6)$ is graphed by moving 8 units right along the x - axis and 6 units down along the y - axis from the origin.
