Solution
The correct options are
A (2,4)
B (2,-4)
C (-2,-4)
The perpendicular distance of the point from y-axis measured along the x-axis is abscissa of the point. Here 5 is the abscissa of the point.
The perpendicular distance of the point from x-axis measured along the y-axis is ordinate of the point. Here 3 is the ordinate of the point.
On the coordinate plane, points are written in the form of (abscissa, ordinate).
Since the direction is not mentioned, both (2,4),(2,-4) and (-2,-4) are possible.
