Starting at the origin move one space to the left since this will lead you to the negative side of the graph. This should be the x axis and your first data as -1. Remember this. Now go back to the origin and go up 4 spaces. You are now at four. Since .5 is equal to one half, go up halfway before five. You are at 4.5. Now move one space to the left again. Plot your point.
