Question

What are the coordinates of the point where the lines $x=-3$ and $y=4$ intersect?

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

Answer 1

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

Step 1: $x=-3$ is a vertical line where $x$-value is always constant, and it is $-3$, while $y$-value can vary on this line.


Step 2: $y=4$ is a horizontal line where $y$-value is always constant, and it is $4$, while $x$-value can vary on this line.

Step 3: Drawing both the lines on the same graph,

$\therefore x=-3$ and $y=4$ intersect at $(-3,4)$ in the second quadrant.

Option (c) is correct.
