Question

The abscissa and ordinate of a point are – 2 and – 4 respectively. Hence the co-ordinates of the point are

A) (2,-4) 

B) (-2, 4) 

C) (- 2, – 4) 

D) (2, 4)

Answer 1

Correct option is (C) (-2, –4)

x-coordinate of the point = abscissa of the point = -2

and y-coordinate of the point = ordinate of the point = -4

\(\therefore\) Coordinates of the point are (x, y) = (-2, -4).

Answer 2

Correct option is  C) (- 2, – 4)
