Question

A friend of Steve who is a gardener is dealing with some issues about planting seeds. It turns out that she has a square garden and decided to plant seeds of beautiful flowering plants at these following particular locations. What are the coordinates of the location of the planted seeds in order $A,B,C$ and $D$?

• A. $(3,5),(-5,2),(5,0),(5,-4)$
• B. $(3,5),(-5,5),(5,1),(5,-4)$
• C. $(3,5),(-5,5),(5,0),(5,4)$
• D. $(3,5),(-5,5),(5,0),(5,-4)$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $(3,5),(-5,5),(5,0),(5,-4)$

The given location of seeds:


$\bullet$ Let's look at $A$.


From the above figure, it is clear that $A$ is 3 units right along $x$-axis and 5 units up along $y$-axis. So, the coordinates of $A$ are $(3,5)$.

$\bullet$ For $B$:


$B$ is 5 units to the left of origin along $x$ direction that is negative 5 and then up by 5 units along $y$ direction. So, the coordinates of $B$ are $(-5,5)$.

For $C$ and $D$,


$\bullet$ $C$, on the other hand, is on the $x$-axis and is 5 units to the right of the origin. So, we can see that the coordinates of $C$ are $(5,0)$.

$\bullet$ To reach to the point $D$, we need to move $5$ units to the right of $y$-axis and $4$ units to the down of $x$-axis. So, the coordinates of $D$ are $(5,-4)$.

$\therefore$ Hence, $(3,5)$, $(-5,5)$, $(5,0)$ and $(5,-4)$ are the specific locations, where Steve's friend planted the seeds in her garden.
