Alright, let's graph the points [tex]\((-9, 7)\)[/tex] and [tex]\((-3, -2)\)[/tex] on the coordinate plane. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

### Step-by-Step:

1. Understanding the coordinate system:
- The horizontal axis is called the x-axis.
- The vertical axis is called the y-axis.
- Points are represented as [tex]\((x, y)\)[/tex], where [tex]\(x\)[/tex] is the horizontal position and [tex]\(y\)[/tex] is the vertical position.

2. Graphing the point [tex]\((-9, 7)\)[/tex]:
- Locate [tex]\(-9\)[/tex] on the x-axis (horizontal axis). Move left from the origin (0,0) to [tex]\(-9\)[/tex].
- From [tex]\(-9\)[/tex] on the x-axis, move vertically up to [tex]\(7\)[/tex] on the y-axis.
- Place a point where this vertical line meets [tex]\(7\)[/tex] on the y-axis.

3. Graphing the point [tex]\((-3, -2)\)[/tex]:
- Locate [tex]\(-3\)[/tex] on the x-axis. Move left from the origin (0,0) to [tex]\(-3\)[/tex].
- From [tex]\(-3\)[/tex] on the x-axis, move vertically down to [tex]\(-2\)[/tex] on the y-axis.
- Place a point where this vertical line meets [tex]\(-2\)[/tex] on the y-axis.

Here are the steps visually represented:

With the points correctly plotted on the graph, you can now visually identify their positions. The point [tex]\((-9, 7)\)[/tex] is in the second quadrant, and the point [tex]\((-3, -2)\)[/tex] is in the third quadrant.
