We need to plot the coordinate (0, -5/8).

An ordered pair (x, y) represents the location of the point in the coordinate plane. Based on the given, we have x = 0 and y = -5/8. No movement will happen around the x-axis since we have x = 0. Since y is a negative number, we will go down on the y axis from the origin depending on the value of y.

We see that our y value is equal to -5/8. What we can do first is to represent each grid to be equal to 2/8. There are 4 grids that we will encounter before going to -1. At the second grid, the value is (2/8)*2 = 4/8. At the third grid, we have (2/8)*3 = 6/8. The middle term for these two fractions is equal to 5/8, hence, the plot of (0, -5/8) will be around:

Based on the plot above, the coo
