To solve this task, we need to plot each given point on the coordinate plane. Each point is represented as (x, y), where:
- The first number (x) tells us how far left or right to move from the center (origin).
- Positive x → move right
- Negative x → move left
- The second number (y) tells us how far up or down to move.
- Positive y → move up
- Negative y → move down
Let’s go through each point one by one and describe where to place it:
---
a) A(-7, -4)
→ Move 7 units left, then 4 units down → Quadrant III
b) B(-10, -9)
→ Move 10 units left, then 9 units down → Quadrant III (far corner)
c) P(-3, 7)
→ Move 3 units left, then 7 units up → Quadrant II
d) Z(9, -5)
→ Move 9 units right, then 5 units down → Quadrant IV
e) X(6, 8)
→ Move 6 units right, then 8 units up → Quadrant I
f) R(-9, -6)
→ Move 9 units left, then 6 units down → Quadrant III
g) Q(-4, -4)
→ Move 4 units left, then 4 units down → Quadrant III
h) Y(5, -8)
→ Move 5 units right, then 8 units down → Quadrant IV
i) W(4, 10)
→ Move 4 units right, then 10 units up → Quadrant I (near top)
j) K(7, 4)
→ Move 7 units right, then 4 units up → Quadrant I
k) D(3, 2)
→ Move 3 units right, then 2 units up → Quadrant I
l) J(0, -3)
→ Stay at center horizontally (x=0), move 3 units down → On negative y-axis

All points are now located correctly based on their coordinates. Since the task asks to “plot” them, and we can’t draw here, the final answer is a list of all plotted points with their positions confirmed.
Final Answer:
A(-7,-4), B(-10,-9), P(-3,7), Z(9,-5), X(6,8), R(-9,-6), Q(-4,-4), Y(5,-8), W(4,10), K(7,4), D(3,2), J(0,-3) — all plotted accurately on the coordinate plane according to their x and y values.
