Question

find the graph of the point (-3, -1).

Explanation:

Step1: Understand coordinate system

In a two - dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, a point is represented as $(x,y)$. Here $x=-3$ and $y = - 1$.

Step2: Locate x - coordinate

The $x$-coordinate $x=-3$ means we move 3 units to the left of the origin (since it's negative).

Step3: Locate y - coordinate

The $y$-coordinate $y=-1$ means we move 1 unit down from the position we got after moving along the $x$-axis.

Answer:

The first graph (the one on the left) represents the point $(-3,-1)$ as it has the point 3 units to the left of the origin and 1 unit down.
