Q1 of 48 Page 99

From the given figure find the coordinates of the points P, Q, R and S.

The coordinates of a point in represented as the ordered pair (abscissa, ordinate).


where abscissa is the X-coordinate or distance of that point from Y-axis


and ordinate is the Y-coordinate or distance of that point from X-axis.


Abscissa of point P = 5


Ordinate of point P = 3


Coordinates of point P = (5,3)


Abscissa of point Q = –4


Ordinate of point Q = 6


Coordinates of point Q = (–4,6)


Abscissa of point R = –3


Ordinate of point R = –2


Coordinates of point R = (–3,–2)


Abscissa of point S = –1


Ordinate of point S = –5


Coordinates of point S = (–1,–5)
