Question

plot the two points given by the ordered - pairs a(-3, - 2), b(-4,1).

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate - plotting rules

In an ordered pair \((x,y)\), \(x\) is the horizontal coordinate and \(y\) is the vertical coordinate. For point \(A(-3, - 2)\), we move 3 units to the left of the origin (since \(x=-3\)) and 2 units down (since \(y = - 2\)). For point \(B(-4,1)\), we move 4 units to the left of the origin (since \(x=-4\)) and 1 unit up (since \(y = 1\)).

Step2: Check each option

We look at the position of the two - point plots in each option. Option A has the points in the correct positions for \(A(-3,-2)\) and \(B(-4,1)\).

Answer:

A.
