Question 1132943: Choose the plot that shows the points (7, 1), (2, - 3), (5, 0), ( - 2, 6), and ( - 4, - 5) on the coordinate plane below.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! it's going to look like this.
the coordinates are in (x,y) format.
you start from the origin, which is the point (0,0).
you go left or right the number of units for the x coordinate.
you go up or down the number of units for the y coordinate.
for example:
the point (7,1) is 7 units to the right and 1 unit up from the origin.
the point (-2,6) is 2 units to the leftand 6 units up from the origin.
for the x-value, you draw an imaginary vertical line from the x-coordinate value on the x-axis.
for the y-value, you draw an imaginary horizontal line from the y-coordinate value on the y-axis.
the intersection of the vertical line and the horizontal line is the coordinate point.
for example, the points (7,1) and (-2,6) have their imaginary vertical and hotizontal lines shown on the following graphs.
