Question

which point has coordinates $(-2, -4)$?

Explanation:

Step1: Understand coordinate system

In a coordinate system, the first number in \((x,y)\) is the \(x -\)coordinate (horizontal), the second is the \(y -\)coordinate (vertical).

Step2: Analyze \(x -\)coordinate of \((-2,-4)\)

For the point \((-2,-4)\), \(x=-2\). Looking at the graph, points \(Q\), \(R\), \(T\) have \(x = - 2\) (they lie on the vertical line \(x=-2\)).

Step3: Analyze \(y -\)coordinate of \((-2,-4)\)

For the point \((-2,-4)\), \(y=-4\). Among the points with \(x = - 2\) (points \(Q\), \(R\), \(T\)), point \(Q\) has \(y=-4\) (since point \(R\) has \(y=-3\) and point \(T\) has \(y = 4\)).
