Solution

The correct option is D (5, -6), (abscissa, ordinate)
the x - coordinate or the abscissa has the positive units
on the right hand side of the origin.
So, in the above question abscissa value is +5
And the y - coordinate or the ordinate has the negative units below of origin.
So,
ordinate is -6.
Answer (D) (5, -6), (abscissa, ordinate)
