Question
**Title: Plotting Complex Numbers in the Complex Plane**

**Instruction:**

**Part 1 of 2**

**Objective:** Plot the given numbers in the complex plane.

**Tasks:**

- **a)** Plot the number \(-6\).
- **b)** Plot the number \(5 - 6i\).

**Graph Explanation:**

On the right side is a graph labeled with the axes "Imaginary" and "Real." 

- The horizontal axis represents the real part of complex numbers.
- The vertical axis represents the imaginary part.

The grid is marked with points, and the location for each plotted point is based on its respective real and imaginary components.

For point **a**, \(-6\), plot the point on the real axis at \(-6\) since there is no imaginary part.

For point **b**, \(5 - 6i\), plot the point at \(5\) on the real axis and \(-6\) on the imaginary axis. 

**Navigation and Tools:**

- Options for help are available, such as "Help me solve this," "View an example," and "Get more help."
- The interface includes buttons to clear the graph or check answers.
- Users can review their progress using the navigation at the bottom and move between questions.

This educational task helps students understand and visualize complex numbers by placing them on the complex plane.
