Question

How do I graph -1, -4?

Answer 1

Start at the origin and go to the left by one and go down by 4

Explanation:

The x coordinate relates to the horizontal axis and the y axis refers to the vertical axis.

Before we start graphing we must always begin at the origin (0,0)

Since the x value is -1 we have to move left by 1 on the x axis

We would move to the left one value because negative is on the left side

For the y value, we would have to move 4 down on the y axis because this number is also negative.

So your graph should look like this

Hope this helps :)
