Question

This graph shows a map of an island just off the coast of a continent. The point labelled B represents a major city on the coast. The distance between grid lines represents 1 km.

Which point is in the water, (2, 7) or (7, 2)?

• A. (2, 7)
• B. (7, 2)
• C. Both
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A (2, 7)

Locate the points (2, 7) and (7,2) on the graph. If you observe carefully (2,7) lies outside the shaded region and (7,2) lies inside the shaded region. Therefore, (2,7) is the point which is in the water.
