Question

Find the coordinates of point A.

• A. $(3,6)$
• B. $(6,3)$
• C. $(9,6)$
• D. (a) and (b) above.

Answer 1

The correct option is B $(6,3)$

Step 1: Start at the origin.

Step 2: Keep moving in the right direction untill we are right under the point A. Now, we are 6 units away from the origin in the x-axis direction.
$\therefore x-$coordinate = 6
Step 3: Now move in the upward direction untill we reach the point A. Now, we are 3 units away from the origin in the y-axis direction
$\therefore y-$coordinate = 3.
Now, we write coordinates of any point in parentheses, where x value is the first and y value is the second.
$\therefore$ Coordinates of point $A=(6,3)$
