Question

See figure and complete the following statements.

The x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the point $M$ are _______ and _______ respectively. Hence the coordinate of $M$ are

• A. $-3,4,(-3,4)$
• B. $-2,4,(-3,4)$
• C. $-3,2,(-3,4)$
• D. $3,4,(-3,4)$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $-3,4,(-3,4)$

The point M is at a distance of 4 units from the x - axis and 3 units from the y - axis.

It lies in the II quadrant.
Hence, the abscissa or the x-coordinate is $-3$, ordinate or the y-coordinate is $4$.

The point M is $(-3,4)$
