The x-coordinate is the number of units to the right of the y-axis. When the point is to the left, we consider the number to be negative. The x-coordinate is -6.
The y-coordinate is the number units above the x-axis. When the point is below the x-axis, we consider the number to be negative. The y-coordinate is -7.
The (x, y) coordinates of the point are (-6, -7).
