Answer 1

Hi, Omat.

It might be easier for you to answer this question is you plot it on a graph. First, you know that the point is located 6 units to the left of the y-axis, so you can see that the x coordinate is -6.  Next, you know that  it is 7 units below the x-axis, so the y coordinate is -7.

Therefore, the answer is F. (-6,-7)
