Question

Plot each point on graph paper.

$I(-4,0)$.

Short answer

The graph of the point $\mathit{I}\mathbf{(}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{4}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{0}\mathbf{)}$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 an x-coordinate, and a number on the y-axis called a y-coordinate.

Step 2. State the steps to plot the coordinates.

Determine the quadrant – The x-coordinate and y- coordinate of point l are –4 and 0 respectively, therefore, the point lies on the -axis.

Plot the point – From the origin, move 4 units to the left to obtain the given point as $(-4,0)$.

Step 3. Plot the coordinates.

The plot of the coordinate is shown below:
