Question

Which of the lettered points in the figure has coordinates $(x,y)$ such that $|x|+|y|=5$?

• A. $A$
• B. $B$
• C. $C$
• D. $D$
• E. $E$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $B$

Given that $\left|x\right|+\left|y\right|=5$

From point $B,(x,y)=(-4,1)$

$\Rightarrow \left|x\right|+\left|y\right|=|-4|+\left|1\right|=5$
