Plot the complex number on the complex plane.
STEP 1
Assumptions
1. We are working with the complex plane, where the horizontal axis (real axis) represents the real part of a complex number and the vertical axis (imaginary axis) represents the imaginary part of a complex number.
2. The number given is -2, which is a real number with no imaginary part.
STEP 2
Identify the real and imaginary parts of the complex number.
For the complex number -2, the real part is -2 and the imaginary part is 0.
STEP 3
Plot the point on the complex plane.
Since the real part is -2 and the imaginary part is 0, we plot the point on the complex plane at the coordinates (-2, 0).
STEP 4
Mark the point on the horizontal axis.
Since the imaginary part is 0, the point lies on the horizontal axis (real axis) at the position corresponding to -2.
The point -2 in the complex plane is plotted on the real axis, two units to the left of the origin.
