Question

using the pencil, plot the point (4, -1).

Explanation:

Step1: Locate x=4 on x-axis

Find the mark labeled $4$ on the horizontal (x) axis.

Step2: Move down to y=-1

From x=4, move vertically down to the horizontal line corresponding to $y=-1$.

Step3: Plot the intersection point

Mark the point where the vertical line through $x=4$ and horizontal line through $y=-1$ cross.

Answer:

The point is plotted at the intersection of the vertical line $x=4$ and horizontal line $y=-1$, 4 units right of the origin and 1 unit below the origin.
