Question

Find the correct sequence of the following steps to mark the point P(4,-3).

Step 1: Starting from the origin O, count 4 units on the positive x - axis.

Step 2: mark the corresponding point as A.

Step 3 : move in the negative direction of the y - axis from A and count 3 units.

Step 4: mark the corresponding point as P.

• A. 1,2,3,4
• B. 3,4,1,2
• C. 1,3,2,4
• D. 3,1,4,2

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1,2,3,4

Correct procedure to mark a point P(4,-3) is:

Step 1: Starting from the origin O, count 4 units on the positive x - axis.

Step 2: mark the corresponding point as A.

Step 3 : move in the negative direction of the y - axis from A as the sign of 3 in the point is negative and count 3 units.

Step 4: mark the corresponding point as P.

Therefore the order is 1,2,3,4.
