Question

In the following exercises, plot each point in a rectangular coordinate system

1. $\left(-2,0\right)$
   
2. $\left(0,-4\right)$
   
3. $\left(0,5\right)$
   
4. $\left(3,0\right)$
   

Short answer

The points are plotted as

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information

Points to be plotted are

1. $\left(-2,0\right)$
2. $\left(0,-4\right)$
3. $\left(0,5\right)$
4. $\left(3,0\right)$
   

Part (a). Step 1. Plot point -2,0

In given point x-coordinate is -2

y-coordinate is 0

So the point will be located at the x-axis

Part (b). Step 1. Plot point 0,-4

Here x-coordinate of the point is 0

y-coordinate of the point is -4

So the point is located at y-axis

Part (c) Step 1. Plot the point 0,5

In this point x-coordinate is 0

y-coordinate is 5

So the point will lie at y-axis

Part (d) Step 1. Plot point 3,0

here in given point x-coordinate is 3

y-coordinate is 0

so the point will be located at x-axis
