Question 110698
No.
:
A point is a point, not a line.
:
Ordered pairs, such as the one given in your problem, are constructed (x,y).  In other words, the first number is the distance from the origin on the x axis, and the second number is the distance from the origin on the y axis.
:
In your case, (-4,0) is the point 4 units to the left of the origin on the x axis; I've marked it Point A on the graph.  This point is on the x-axis because the y coordinate is 0.
:
Contrast this with the point (-4,1), that I've marked Point B on the graph.  To plot this point, you would again move 4 units to the left of the origin on the x-axis, but then you would move 1 unit up.
