a. Draw a coordinate plane and place the point (-3, 5) on the graph. 
   Label the point.
b. Draw a coordinate plane and place the point (2, 4) on the graph.
   Label it.
c. Draw a coordinate plane and place the point (6, -14) on the graph. Label it.

I have drawn the coordinate plane using ordinary keyboard characters.
Please note that these graphs will be properly indented only if
displayed in a monospace font such as Courier. This page should show
them in such a font, but if your browser distorts the graphs in any
way, please let me know so that I can arrange an alternate means of
presentation.


a. The point (-3, 5) is marked by an asterisk in the graph below.

                      y
                      ^
                      |
                    8 +
                      |
                    7 +
                      |
                    6 +
                      |
             *      5 +
          (-3, 5)     |
                    4 +
                      |
                    3 +
                      |
                    2 +
                      |
                    1 +
                      |
-+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-> x
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1  |  1  2  3  4  5  6
                   -1 +
                      |
                   -2 +
                      |
                   -3 +
                      |
                   -4 +
                      |
                   -5 +
                      |
                   -6 +
                      |


b. As before, the point (2, 4) is marked by an asterisk.

                      y
                      ^
                      |
                    8 +
                      |
                    7 +
                      |
                    6 +
                      |
                    5 +
                      |
                    4 +     *
                      |   (2, 4)
                    3 +
                      |
                    2 +
                      |
                    1 +
                      |
-+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-> x
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1  |  1  2  3  4  5  6
                   -1 +
                      |
                   -2 +
                      |
                   -3 +
                      |
                   -4 +
                      |
                   -5 +
                      |
                   -6 +
                      |
  

c. The point (6, -14) is marked by an asterisk. Note that the scale of
this graph differs from that of the previous two.

     y
     ^
     |
   2 +
     |
-+---+---+---+---+---+--> x
-2   |   2   4   6   8
 -2  +
     |
 -4  +
     |
 -6  +
     |
 -8  +
     |
 -10 +
     |
 -12 +
     |
 -14 +           *
     |        (6, -14)
 -16 +
     |

Please be aware that these graphs are meant to be displayed in a font,
such as Courier, in which all characters are equally wide. If you do
not view the graphs in such a font, they will be distorted to the
point of inaccuracy. They should be correctly displayed on this web
page. Are they not?
