Question

What is the ordinate of point $D$?

• A. $-6$
• B. $4$
• C. $-2$
• D. $10$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $4$

The required point is $D$.

Here, the point is at a distance of $6$ units left of the $y$-axis $⟹x=-6$.

Also, the point is at a distance of $4$ units above the $x$-axis$⟹y=4$.

Therefore, the co-ordinates of the required point are $D(-6,4)$.

Here, the ordinate is $4$.

Hence, option $B$ is correct.
