Question

Which one of the following options shows the correct coordinates of the plotted point?

• A. $(6,7)$
• B. $(7,6)$
• C. $(13,7)$
• D. $(7,13)$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $(7,6)$


$\text{Identifying the coordinates of point A:}$
Travel vertically downwards from A. As this is the distance of point A from the $x-$axis, let’s consider this distance as the y-coordinate of point A.
Distance traveled vertically = $y-$coordinate of point A = 6
Travel horizontally toward the origin from the last location. As this is the distance of point A from the $y-$axis, let’s consider this distance as the $x-$coordinate of point A.
Distance traveled horizontally = $x-$coordinate of point A = 7
So, the coordinates of point A are (7, 6).
Hence, option D is correct.
