Josiah and kate used different methods. Josiah said his method involved multiplication, while kate said she did not use multiplication. Both students arrived at the correct answer. How is this possible?

adding and exponents

Step-by-step explanation:

Another way to do multiplication is by either adding or using exponents so  Kate could've used either of those

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
