Question

graph the point (-0.5, 4) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the x - coordinate

The x - coordinate of the point \((-0.5,4)\) is \(-0.5\). On the x - axis, move \(0.5\) units to the left of the origin (since it is negative).

Step2: Locate the y - coordinate

The y - coordinate of the point \((-0.5,4)\) is \(4\). From the position found in Step 1 (at \(x=-0.5\)), move \(4\) units up along the y - direction.

Answer:

Plot the point at the intersection of \(x = - 0.5\) and \(y = 4\) on the coordinate plane.
