Point Plot 94Dc36

1. The problem asks where the point with coordinates $x = -1$ and $y = -8$ is located on a graph. 2. In a Cartesian coordinate system, a point is represented as $(x, y)$ where $x$ is the horizontal position and $y$ is the vertical position. 3. Here, the point is $(-1, -8)$. 4. To plot this point: - Move 1 unit to the left of the origin (because $x = -1$). - Move 8 units down from the origin (because $y = -8$). 5. This locates the point in the third quadrant of the Cartesian plane, where both $x$ and $y$ are negative. 6. Therefore, the point $(-1, -8)$ is plotted 1 unit left and 8 units down from the origin.
