Add data labels to scatter plot

I have the code below, and i want to add a label with each data point. For the first data point, i want to label it '1', and second data point '2' and so on.
tenFootHorizontal = [2,3,-4.-1]
tenFootVeetical = [1,3,0,.5]
scatter(tenFootHorizontal,tenFootVertical,'red','filled');
xlim([-6 6]);
ylim([-10,10]);
ax = gca;
ax.XAxisLocation = 'origin';
ax.YAxisLocation = 'origin';

scatter(tenFootHorizontal,tenFootVertical,'red','filled');
% make data labels:
text(tenFootHorizontal,tenFootVertical,sprintfc(' %d',1:numel(tenFootHorizontal)))
xlim([-6 6]);
ylim([-10,10]);
ax = gca;
