In this convention, the pole(P) is taken as the origin. The principal axis of the mirror is taken as the x-axis of the coordinate system. The convention are as follows:
(I) The object is always placed to the left of the mirror. This implies that the light from the object falls on the mirror from the left-hand side.
(II) All distances parallel to the principal axis are measured from the pole of the mirror.
(III) All the distances are measured to the right of the origin ( along + x-axis ) are taken as positive while those measured to the left of the origin ( along - x-axis ) are taken as negative.
(IV) Distances measured perpendicular to and above the principal axis ( along + y-axis ) are taken as positive.
(V) Distances measured perpendicular to and below the principal axis ( along - y-axis ) are taken as negative.



Hope it may help you!!!!!!!!!!!

Sign Convention for Reflaction by Spherical Mirrors use the pole of the mirror as Origin. The principal axis of the mirror is taken as the x-axis of the coordinate system.

\underline{The\: convention \:are \:as\: follows:-}

✔️ The object is always placed to the left of the mirror.

✔️ All distance parallel to the principal axis are measured from the pole of the mirror.

✔️ All the distance measured to the right of the orgin are taken as positive while those measured to the left of the origin is taken as negative.

✔️ Distances measured perpendicular to and above the principal axis are taken as positive.

✔️ Distance measured perpendicular to and below the principal axis are taken as negative.

Hope it helps you!!
