The abscissa refers to the \(x\)-coordinate of a point in the coordinate plane. Since point \(P\) lies on the \(x\)-axis, its \(y\)-coordinate must be 0. 

Given that the abscissa is \(-9\), the point \(P\) must have coordinates \((-9, 0)\).

Thus, the correct answer is:

**(Choice A) \((-9, 0)\)**.

2. How do you determine the location of a point if given both the abscissa and the ordinate?
3. What would the coordinates of a point on the \(y\)-axis be if its ordinate is \(-9\)?
4. What is the distance between two points on the \(x\)-axis?
5. How would you plot the point \((-9, 0)\) on a graph?

**Tip**: Points on the \(x\)-axis always have a \(y\)-coordinate of 0.
