Question

1. plot points a (-4,-3), b (1,1), c (-3,-6), d (-1,-5), e (-8,-9)

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the x - coordinate

For each point, start at the origin. Move left (if x - coordinate is negative) or right (if x - coordinate is positive) along the x - axis according to the value of the x - coordinate.
For point \(A(-4,-3)\), move 4 units to the left along the x - axis. For point \(B(1,1)\), move 1 unit to the right along the x - axis. For point \(C(-3,-6)\), move 3 units to the left along the x - axis. For point \(D(-1,-5)\), move 1 unit to the left along the x - axis. For point \(E(-8,-9)\), move 8 units to the left along the x - axis.

Step2: Locate the y - coordinate

From the position on the x - axis (found in Step 1), move up (if y - coordinate is positive) or down (if y - coordinate is negative) along the y - axis according to the value of the y - coordinate.
For point \(A(-4,-3)\), from \(x = - 4\), move 3 units down. For point \(B(1,1)\), from \(x = 1\), move 1 unit up. For point \(C(-3,-6)\), from \(x=-3\), move 6 units down. For point \(D(-1,-5)\), from \(x = - 1\), move 5 units down. For point \(E(-8,-9)\), from \(x=-8\), move 9 units down.

Answer:

Plot the points as described in the steps above on the given coordinate grid.
