Question

See figure and complete the following statements.

The x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the point $S$ are ______ and ______ respectively. Hence the coordinate of $S$ are ______

• A. $3,-5,(3,-4)$
• B. $3,-6,(3,-4)$
• C. $3,4,(3,-4)$
• D. $3,-4,(3,-4)$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$3,-4,(3,-4)$

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

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

The point S is $(3,-4)$.
