You can plot a list of data points using ListPlot. First, define
your data list using Mathematica syntax for lists:

data = {{0, 0}, {1, 0}, {2,
     0}, {0, -1}, {1, -1}, {2, -1}, {0, -2}, {1, -2}, {2, -2}};

Then plot your data

ListPlot[data, PlotStyle -> {PointSize[.05]}]

For standard size points, delete the PlotStyle option. For
larger points increase the value for PointSize. Note, if you
make the points really large you will need to add a PlotRange
option to increase the size of the plot range in order to see
the entire point.
