Solved by pluggable solver: Plot a Single Point

Start at the origin (where the the x and y axis intersect)

Now move your pencil 1 units to the right

We move 1 units in this direction since the x-coordinate is 1 (its the first number of the pair)

Now go 3 units down

We move 3 units in this direction since the y-coordinate is -3 (its the second number of the pair)

Plot a point where the pencil lands

So here is the point (1,-3)

Note: this point is in quadrant IV (quadrant 4)
