Coordinate Grid — (-4, -2) — free printable diagram

Where is (-4, -2) on a coordinate grid?

This four-quadrant -5 to 5 grid has a single point plotted at (-4, -2) — 4 left of the origin and 2 down.

Grid

-5 to 5 on both axes

• A coordinate pair is always written (x, y): the first number is how far across, the second how far up or down. Here that is (-4, -2).
• To plot it, start at the origin (0, 0), move 4 left, then move 2 down.
• Both coordinates are non-zero, so the point sits inside a quadrant — quadrant III, which is where x is negative and y is negative.
• This grid is a four-quadrant -5 to 5 plane, so every axis is numbered from -5 to 5.
