Plotting on the Coordinate Plane

In the standard (x,y) coordinate plane below, which point has coordinates of (-4,-5)?

A.)  P
B.)  Q
C.)  R
D.)  S
E.)  T

On a coordinate plane,
- the x-axis is the horizontal axis, going left and right
- the y-axis is the vertical axis, going up and down

To go to (-4,-5) on the coordinate plane:
- start at the origin, which is the center, at (0,0)
- move to the left 4 on the x-axis, since x is -4
- then move down 5 on the y-axis, since y is -5
- and plot a point

A.)  P
