Question

use the coordinate plane at the right. identify the point for each ordered pair. (-3, 4) (-4, -3)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate - plane rules

In a coordinate plane, an ordered pair is written as $(x,y)$ where $x$ is the horizontal (abscissa) and $y$ is the vertical (ordinate) value.

Step2: Locate $(-3,4)$

For the ordered pair $(-3,4)$, start at the origin $(0,0)$. Move 3 units to the left along the x - axis (since $x=-3$) and then 4 units up along the y - axis (since $y = 4$).

Step3: Locate $(-4,-3)$

For the ordered pair $(-4,-3)$, start at the origin $(0,0)$. Move 4 units to the left along the x - axis (since $x=-4$) and then 3 units down along the y - axis (since $y=-3$).

Answer:

To identify the points in the coordinate - plane for the ordered pairs $(-3,4)$ and $(-4,-3)$, follow the steps above to plot them on the given coordinate plane.
