Question 82791
To plot (-3,-3) start from the origin (0,0) where the x and y axis intersect. Then we go 3 units to the left (-3 in the x direction) and 3 units down (-3 in the y direction) to get to (-3,-3).


Here is the point (-3,-3) plotted on the coordinate system

{{{drawing( 300, 300, -5, 5, -5, 5,

  grid( 1 ),
  locate(-3,-3,"(-3,-3)"),
  circle(-3,-3,.12), 
  circle(-3,-3,.15))
