How to plot (-3,3) on a graphing grid?

On the x axis, move to the left three and up 3 (y axis) this is where to mark the plot. 

Hi!

If you look at the picture. X always is the first number then Y follows.

So in your case -3 would be on the X axis. (Which should be labeled on the drawing.)

Then 3 is on the Y axis. (Also supposed to be labeled on the drawing.)

Hope the reference and explanation helps a little :)

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
