Question

A star and a heart shape is drawn on the Cartesian plane. Select the option that represents their coordinates.

• A. Heart (1,-4); Star (4, 2)
  
• B. Heart (-4, 1); Star (2, 4)
  
• C. Heart (-4, 1); Star (2, -4)
  
• D. Heart (-1, 4); Star (-2, 4)
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B Heart (-4, 1); Star (2, 4)


Distance of the heart shape from the y-axis in the left direction $=4\text{units}$
Distance of the heart shape from the x-axis in upward direction $=1\text{unit}$
So, the coordinates of the heart shape $=(-4,1)$
Distance of the star shape from the y-axis in the right direction $=2\text{units}$
Distance of the star shape from the x-axis in upward direction $=4\text{units}$
Distance can never be negative, and the negative sign only represents the direction of the point from the axes.
So, the coordinates of the star shape $=(2,4)$
