Answer:

This is a coordinate, and it tells you where to plot a point on a set of axis. The first number in the coordinate tells you the x-value and the second one tells you the y-value. X-values go across the horizontal axis, known as the x-axis. Y-values go up and down the vertical axis, known as the y-axis.

In this case, to plot the point, you would start at the very center of the axis, where y and x both equal 0. You'd go 6 to the right, because they gave you a positive x-value. The you'd go up 8, because they gave you a positive y-value.

If they give you a negative x-value, you'd go to the left, and if they give you a negative y-value, you'd go down.

Hope that helped : )
