Question

graph the point (1, -2) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Find x=1 on x-axis

Move 1 unit right from origin.

Step2: Find y=-2 on y-axis

From x=1, move 2 units down.

Answer:

The point (1, -2) is plotted at the intersection of x=1 (1 unit right of origin) and y=-2 (2 units below origin) on the coordinate plane.
