In an ordered pair, the x-coordinate comes first and the y-coordinate comes second.
In an ( x, y) ordered pair, the first number shows the x-coordinate and the second number shows the y-coordinate.
1st point
Our first point is ( - 4, - 5). The x-coordinate " - 4" tells us to move four units in the negative horizontal direction.
The y-coordinate " - 5" tells us to move five units in the negative vertical direction.
2nd point
Now, we want to graph ( 0, - 1). The x-coordinate " 0" tells us not to move in the horizontal direction.
The y-coordinate " - 1" tells us to move one unit in the negative vertical direction.
3rd point
Let's move to ( 3, - 2). The x-coordinate " 3" tells us to move three units in the positive horizontal direction. The y-coordinate " - 2" tells us to move two units in the negative vertical direction.
Final graph
Now that we found all points, we can show them on one graph.
