Solution:
The given points are (-2, 8), (-1, 7), (0, -1.25), (1,3) and (3, -1).
To plot these points:
(i) We draw X’OX and YOY’ as axes.
(ii) We choose suitable units of distance on the axes.
(iii) To plot (-2,8), we start from O, take (-2) units on x-axis and then (+8) units on y – axis. We mark
the point as A (-2, 8).
(iv) To plot (-1,7), we start from O, take (-1) units on x-axis and then (+7) units on the y – axis. We
mark the point as B(-1, 7).
(v) To plot (0, -1.25), we move along 1.25 units below the x-axis on the y – axis and mark the point as
C(0, -1.25).
(vi) To plot (1, 3), we take (+1) unit on the x-axis and then (+3) units on the y – axis. We mark the
point as D(1, 3).
(vii) To plot (3, -1), we take (+3) units on the x-axis and then (-1) unit on the y – axis. We mark the
point E(3, -1).
