Answer 1

0 Start at the origin. Move 7 units to the right, then move 4 units up.

Explanation:

You go in before you go up, the first number always goes either right or left, depending on if it's negative or positive, and the second number goes up or down, depending on if it's negative or positive.

Answer 2

The answer is “a” because 4 is positive and on the x axis so you go right. -7 is negative and on the y axis so you go down
