Answer:

( -8, -4)

Explanation:

Think of the graph as 4 different sections,

top left is 1

top right is 2

bottom right is 3

bottom left is 4

The red dot is (4, -8) and the blue dot is ( -8, -4 )

If you move from the right side of the grid to the left you would switch (x ,y ) to (y , x).

depending on what part of the graph it is in, it will be negative or positive.

hope this helps!
