Let’s solve each problem step by step.
We’re working with complex numbers on a coordinate plane.
The horizontal axis is the
Real part (like x-axis).
The vertical axis is the
Imaginary part (like y-axis).
A complex number like
a + bi means:
→ Go
a units right (or left if negative) on the Real axis.
→ Then go
b units up (or down if negative) on the Imaginary axis.
→ Put a dot there — that’s your point!

Problem 1: Graph 5 + 5i
- Real part = 5 → move 5 to the right.
- Imaginary part = 5 → move 5 up.
- Plot point at (5, 5)
✔ Done for #1.
---
Problem 2: Graph -4 - 3i
- Real part = -4 → move 4 to the left.
- Imaginary part = -3 → move 3 down.
- Plot point at (-4, -3)
✔ Done for #2.
---
Problem 3: Graph 2 - 5i
- Real part = 2 → move 2 to the right.
- Imaginary part = -5 → move 5 down.
- Plot point at (2, -5)
✔ Done for #3.
---
Now problems 4–6 are reversed: we see a graphed point and must write the complex number.
Look at where the red dot is:
Problem 4: Point is at (-4, -5)
- Real part = -4 (x-coordinate)
- Imaginary part = -5 (y-coordinate)
→ So complex number is:
-4 - 5i
✔ Done for #4.

Problem 5: Point is at (-2, -3)
Wait — let me check the image again carefully.
In problem 5, the red dot is at:
→ Real axis: -2 (two left)
→ Imaginary axis: -3 (three down)
So complex number =
-2 - 3i
✔ Done for #5.
---
Problem 6: Point is at (3, -5)
Red dot is at:
→ Real axis: 3 (three right)
→ Imaginary axis: -5 (five down)
So complex number =
3 - 5i
✔ Done for #6.

Let me double-check all answers:
1) 5 + 5i → (5,5) ✔️
2) -4 - 3i → (-4,-3) ✔️
3) 2 - 5i → (2,-5) ✔️
4) Graph shows (-4,-5) → -4 - 5i ✔️
5) Graph shows (-2,-3) → -2 - 3i ✔️
6) Graph shows (3,-5) → 3 - 5i ✔️
All correct.
Final Answer:
1) Graph point at (5, 5)
2) Graph point at (-4, -3)
3) Graph point at (2, -5)
4) -4 - 5i
5) -2 - 3i
6) 3 - 5i
