There are an infinite number of answers to this problem. The only thing you have to remember to do is to count the same number of spaces away from the point (4, -1) on each side. For example, if you count three spaces left and plot a point R at (1, -1), then you need to plot a point Q three spaces right at (7, -1). You can count up and down, right and left, diagonally, whatever way you want...as long as you count the same number of spaces on each side of your point.
