Question

graph the point (10, -9) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the x - coordinate

On the x - axis, move to \(x = 10\).

Step2: Locate the y - coordinate

From \(x = 10\), move down (since \(y=-9\)) to \(y=-9\).

Step3: Plot the point

Mark the intersection of \(x = 10\) and \(y=-9\) as the point \((10,-9)\).

Answer:

The point \((10,-9)\) is plotted on the coordinate plane by moving 10 units to the right on the x - axis and 9 units down on the y - axis from the origin.
