Plot the following ordered pairs $(x, y)$ of numbers as points in the Cartesian plane. Use the scale $1\,cm = 1$ unit on the axes.
$x$ $-3$ $0$ $-1$ $4$ $2$
$y$ $7$ $-3.5$ $-3$ $4$ $-3$

(N/A) The pairs of numbers given in the table can be represented by the points $(-3, 7)$,$(0, -3.5)$,$(-1, -3)$,$(4, 4)$,and $(2, -3)$.
To plot these points:
$1$. For $(-3, 7)$,start at the origin,move $3$ units to the left along the $X$-axis,and then $7$ units upwards parallel to the $Y$-axis.
$2$. For $(0, -3.5)$,start at the origin,move $0$ units along the $X$-axis,and then $3.5$ units downwards along the $Y$-axis.
$3$. For $(-1, -3)$,start at the origin,move $1$ unit to the left along the $X$-axis,and then $3$ units downwards parallel to the $Y$-axis.
$4$. For $(4, 4)$,start at the origin,move $4$ units to the right along the $X$-axis,and then $4$ units upwards parallel to the $Y$-axis.
$5$. For $(2, -3)$,start at the origin,move $2$ units to the right along the $X$-axis,and then $3$ units downwards parallel to the $Y$-axis.
The locations of these points are shown in the figure.
