Graph each ordered pair on a coordinate grid.

$(-2,1)$

Coordinate$\left(x,y\right)$ of apoint is an ordered pair of numbers; that is, a number on the x-axis called anx -coordinate, and a number on the y-axis called a y -coordinate.

In rectangular coordinate system any point be in the form of $\left(x,y\right)$.

• In Quadrant I, both the coordinates of ordered pair are positive, that is, $\left(+,+\right)$.
• In Quadrant II, first number is negative and second is positive, that is, $\left(-,+\right)$.
• In Quadrant III, both the coordinates of ordered pair are negative, that is, $\left(-,-\right)$.
• In Quadrant IV, first point is positive and second is negative, that is, $\left(+,-\right)$.

In order to plot the point $\left(-2,1\right)$, observe that$\left(-2,1\right)$is in second Quadrant.

Steps to plot the coordinates$\left(-2,1\right)$are:

• Move to negative x axis by 2 unitsstarting from originas value ofx is $-2$.
• Then move in positive y direction by 2 unit as value of y is 1.

The plot of the coordinate as shown below:
