Question

plot (4, - 5). plot the point (4, - 5) in a rectangular coordinate system.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x - coordinate

The x - coordinate of the point (4, - 5) is 4. Start at the origin (0,0) and move 4 units to the right along the x - axis since 4 is positive.

Step2: Identify y - coordinate

The y - coordinate of the point (4, - 5) is - 5. From the position on the x - axis (x = 4), move 5 units down along the y - axis since - 5 is negative. Mark the point.

Answer:

The point (4, - 5) is plotted 4 units to the right of the y - axis and 5 units below the x - axis on the rectangular coordinate system.
