See the blue dot in the attached image.
First, find the x value on the coordinate plane. The x value is the first number in the point coordinates, so in this case, it is 4. Move to the right 4. (If it was negative, you would move to the left.)
Then, find the y value, which is the second number of the coordinates. In this case, it is -1, so move down 1. (If it was positive, you’d move up.)
Now, mark this point. This is (4, -1).
