Explanation:

Points are plotted on a coordinate grid by recognizing the meaning of the numbers in the ordered pair.

The first number is the x-coordinate, the horizontal distance from the y-axis. The second number is the y-coordinate, the vertical distance from the x-axis. Positive numbers indicate "right" or "up". Negative numbers indicate "down" or "left."

A)

The mark is 3.5 units left of the y-axis and 4 units down from the x-axis.

__

B)

The mark is neither left nor right of the y-axis, so is on the y-axis. It is 4.5 units down from the x-axis.
