Answer 1

Answer:

From the coordinates draw perpendiculars on x-axis namely AF,BG,CH,DI and EJ

For point A

Distance from y-axis = OF=−6 units

Distance from x-axis = AF=5units

Therefore, the coordinates of point A are (−6,5)

For point B

Distance from y-axis = OG=5 units

Distance from x-axis = BG=4units

Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (5,4)

For point C

Distance from y-axis = OH=−3 units

Distance from x-axis = HC=2 units

Therefore, the coordinates of point C are (−3,2)

For point D

Distance from y-axis = OI=2 units

Distance from x-axis = ID=−2 units

Therefore, the coordinates of point D are (2,−2)

For point E

Distance from y-axis = OJ=−1 unit

Distance from x-axis = JE=−4 units

Therefore, the coordinates of point E are (−1,−4)
