Answer:

D. (2, -2)

Explanation:

In a graph, the middle is the origin, and it is zero (0).

Positive sides:

The top side of the y-axis from the origin is positive.

The right side of the x-axis from the origin is positive.

Negative sides:

The bottom side of the y-axis from the origin is negative.

The left side of the x-axis from the origin is negative.

As we see the point labeled "Point A" on the graph, if we count from the x-axis, as we see, and the origin being 0, we notice it is "2". Since the point is on the right side of the x-axis, it is positive. The x-value is 2

When we count from the origin, as zero, we find the point lies in 2, as well. Since the point is on the bottom side of the y-axis, it is negative. Then the y-value is -2.

Option D is our answer.
