How to draw a single pixel in OpenGL?

Question

Can someone tell me how to draw a single white pixel at a coordinate, say (100,200)?

I am using GLUT and so far have figured out how to open a blank window. Once I figure out how to draw pixels, I will use that to implement the Bresenham line drawing algorithm. (Yes, I am aware OpenGL can draw lines. I am required to implement this myself).

#include <stdio.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>

static int win(0);

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
    glutInit(&argc,argv);
    glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA|GLUT_SINGLE);
    glutInitWindowSize(500,500);
    glutInitWindowPosition(100,100);

    //step 2. Open a window named "GLUT DEMO"
    win = glutCreateWindow("GLUT DEMO");
    glClearColor(0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0); //set background

    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
    glFlush();
    glutMainLoop();
}

glVertex2i(x,y);

Here is the context it needs to work:

glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);

glutInitWindowPosition(80, 80);
glutInitWindowSize(500,500);

glutCreateWindow("A Simple OpenGL Program");

glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glMatrixMode( GL_PROJECTION );
glLoadIdentity();
gluOrtho2D( 0.0, 500.0, 500.0,0.0 );

glBegin(GL_POINTS);
   glColor3f(1,1,1);
   glVertex2i(100,100);
glEnd();
