Question

using the pencil, plot the point $(2, -1)$.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the x - coordinate

On the x - axis, find the value \(x = 2\).

Step2: Locate the y - coordinate

From the point \(x = 2\) on the x - axis, move down (since \(y=-1\)) to the line \(y = - 1\).

Answer:

Plot the point at the intersection of \(x = 2\) and \(y=-1\) on the coordinate plane.
