To plot the point \((-8, -4)\), we start by understanding the coordinates:
- The first number, \(-8\), represents the x-coordinate, which means we move 8 units to the left of the origin (0,0) on the x-axis.
- The second number, \(-4\), represents the y-coordinate, which means we move 4 units down from the x-axis on the y-axis.
Now, if we plot the point:
1. Move left 8 units from the origin.
2. Move down 4 units.
The point \((-8, -4)\) will be located in the third quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system (where both x and y coordinates are negative).
So, the point \((-8, -4)\) is in the **third quadrant**.
- The first number, \(-8\), represents the x-coordinate, which means we move 8 units to the left of the origin (0,0) on the x-axis.
- The second number, \(-4\), represents the y-coordinate, which means we move 4 units down from the x-axis on the y-axis.
Now, if we plot the point:
1. Move left 8 units from the origin.
2. Move down 4 units.
The point \((-8, -4)\) will be located in the third quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system (where both x and y coordinates are negative).
So, the point \((-8, -4)\) is in the **third quadrant**.
