Q10 of 40 Page 3

If the perpendicular distance of the point from x-axis is 3 units, the perpendicular distance from y-axis is 4 units, and the points lie in the 4th quadrant. Find the coordinate of the point.

Ordinate = Perpendicular distance of point from x-axis = 3


Abscissa = Perpendicular distance of the point from y-axis = 4


In 4th quadrant, Abscissa is positive, and the ordinate is negative


Therefore, the point is given by P(3, -4).
