Answer:

The value of x co ordinate is -4

Explanation:

the value of the x-coordinate that is 9 units left of (5,-8)

when we move x -coordinate 'h' units to the left then (x,y) becoems

(x-h, y)

To find value of x-coordinate that is 9 units left we subtract 9 from x

In (5,-8) we subtract 9 from the x co ordintate 5

(5,-8) becomes (5-9 , -8) that is (-4, -8)

The value of x co ordinate is -4
