Question

Plot each point on graph paper.

$G(1,-2)$.

Short answer

The graph of the point $G(1,-2)$is :

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Define coordinate of a point.

Coordinate $(x,y)$of a point is an ordered pair of numbers; that is, a number on the x-axis called anx-coordinate, and a number on they-axis called ay-coordinate.

Step 2. State the steps to plot the coordinates.

Determine the quadrant – Thex-coordinate andy-coordinate of point are 1 and $-2$respectively, therefore, the point lies on the fourth quadrant on the coordinate axis.

Plot the point – From the origin, move 1 unit towards right and then move 2 units downwards to obtain the given point as $G(1,-2)$.

Step 3. Plot the coordinates.

The plot of the coordinate is shown below :
