Question

Find the coordinates of John's office which is located at point $X$.

• A. $(9,8)$
• B. $(8,9)$
• C. $(1,9)$
• D. $(9,7)$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $(9,8)$

Let's find the coordinates of point $X$

Step 1: Start at the origin.

Step 2: Keep moving in the right direction untill we are right under the point $X.$ Now, we are 9 units away from the origin in the x-axis direction.
$\therefore x-$coordinate = 9.

Step 3: Keep moving in the upward direction untill we are at the point $X.$ Now, we are 8 units away from the origin in the y-axis direction.
$\therefore y-$coordinate = 8.


Step 4: We write coordinates of any point in parentheses, where x value is the first and y value is the second.
$\therefore$ Coordinates of point $X=(9,8)$
