1. The problem is to plot a single data point with coordinates approximately $x = -50$ and $y = -150$ on a Cartesian plane. 2. The graph has x-values ranging from $-250$ to $0$ and y-values from $-600$ to $0$. 3. To plot the point, locate $-50$ on the x-axis. This is near the right side of the graph since the x-axis goes from $-250$ (left) to $0$ (right). 4. Next, locate $-150$ on the y-axis. This is between $-100$ and $-200$, closer to $-150$, which is roughly in the lower middle part of the graph. 5. From the x-axis position at $-50$, move vertically down to the y-value $-150$. 6. Mark the point where these two values intersect. This is the location of the data point on the graph. 7. This method works for any point: find the x-coordinate on the horizontal axis, then move vertically to the y-coordinate, and mark the point. Final answer: Plot the point at $(-50, -150)$ by moving right to $-50$ on the x-axis and down to $-150$ on the y-axis.
