Plot the points $(x, y)$ given in the following table on the plane,choosing suitable units of distance on the axes.

$x$	$-2$	$-1$	$0$	$1$	$3$
$y$	$8$	$7$	$-1.25$	$3$	$-1$

(N/A) The given points are $A(-2, 8), B(-1, 7), C(0, -1.25), D(1, 3)$ and $E(3, -1)$. To plot these points:
$(i)$ We draw $X'OX$ and $YOY'$ as axes.
$(ii)$ We choose suitable units of distance on the axes.
$(iii)$ To plot $A(-2, 8)$,we start from the origin $O$,move $2$ units to the left on the $x$-axis and $8$ units upwards on the $y$-axis.
$(iv)$ To plot $B(-1, 7)$,we start from the origin $O$,move $1$ unit to the left on the $x$-axis and $7$ units upwards on the $y$-axis.
$(v)$ To plot $C(0, -1.25)$,we start from the origin $O$,move $0$ units on the $x$-axis and $1.25$ units downwards on the $y$-axis.
$(vi)$ To plot $D(1, 3)$,we start from the origin $O$,move $1$ unit to the right on the $x$-axis and $3$ units upwards on the $y$-axis.
$(vii)$ To plot $E(3, -1)$,we start from the origin $O$,move $3$ units to the right on the $x$-axis and $1$ unit downwards on the $y$-axis.
