Question

Which of the following option(s) is/are correct for point $P?$

• A. $x-\text{coordinate = 5}$
• B. $y-\text{coordinate = 3}$
• C. $x-\text{coordinate = 3}$
• D. $y-\text{coordinate = 5}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

$y-\text{coordinate = 5}$

Let's find the coordinates of point $P$

Step 1: Start at the origin.

Step 2: Keep moving in the right direction untill we are right under the point $P.$ Now, we are 3 units away from the origin in the x-axis direction.
$\therefore x-$coordinate = 3.

Step 3: Keep moving in the upward direction untill we are at the point $P.$ Now, we are 5 units away from the origin in the y-axis direction.
$\therefore y-$coordinate = 5.


Step 4: We write coordinates of any point in parentheses, where x value is the first and y value is the second.
$\therefore$ Coordinates of point $P=(3,5)$
