Question

See figure and complete the following statements.

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

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A $-5,-4,(-5,-4)$

The point L is at a distance of $4$ units from the $x-axis$ and $5$ units from the $y-axis$.

It lies in the III quadrant

Hence, the abscissa or the $x-coordinate$ is $-5$, ordinate or the $y-coordinate$ is $-4$.

The point $L$ is $(-5,-4)$.
