Transcript text: Using the pencil, plot the point $(-4,-1)$.

Solution

Step 1: Identify the Coordinates

The given point is $(-4, -1)$. The first value, $-4$, is the x-coordinate, and the second value, $-1$, is the y-coordinate.

Step 2: Locate the x-coordinate

Move horizontally along the x-axis to $-4$. This is 4 units to the left of the origin (0,0).

Step 3: Locate the y-coordinate

From the point $-4$ on the x-axis, move vertically down to $-1$ on the y-axis. This is 1 unit down from the x-axis.

The point $(-4, -1)$ is plotted 4 units to the left of the origin and 1 unit down.
