Question

See Fig.3.14, and write the following:

(i) The coordinates of B.

(ii) The coordinates of C.

(iii) The point identified by the coordinates (–3, –5).

(iv) The point identified by the coordinates (2, – 4).

(v) The abscissa of the point D.

(vi) The ordinate of the point H.

(vii) The coordinates of the point L.

(viii) The coordinates of the point M.

Answer 1

(i) The x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of point B are −5 and 2 respectively. Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (−5, 2).

(ii) The x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of point C are 5 and −5 respectively. Therefore, the coordinates of point C are (5, −5).

(iii) The point whose x-coordinate and y-coordinate are −3 and −5 respectively is point E.
