Question
Write down the coordinates of each of the following points A, B, C, D, and E.

Answer

Draw the perpendiculars from the AF, BG, CH, DI and EJ on the x-axis.
  1. The distance of A from the y-axis = OF = -6 units
The distance of A from the x-axis = AF = 5 units

Hence, the coordinate of A are (-6, 5)
  1. The distance of B from the y-axis = OG = 5 units
The distance of B from the x-axis = BG = 4 units

Hence, the coordinate of B are (5, 4)
  1. The distance of C from the y-axis = OH = -3 units
The distance of C from the x-axis = HC = 2 units

Hence, the coordinate of C are (-3, 2)
  1. The distance of D from the y-axis = OI = 2 units
The distance of D from the x-axis = ID = -2 units

Hence, the coordinate of D are (2, -2)
  1. The distance of E from the y-axis = OJ = -1 unit
The distance of E from the x-axis = JE = -4 units

Hence, the coordinate of E are (-1, -4)

Thus, the coordinates of A, B, C, D and E are respectively, A(-6, 5), B(5, 4), C(-3, 2), D(2, -2) and E(-1, -4)
