Question

If the perpendicular distance of a point S from the
y-axis is 8 units in the negative direction of the x-axis,
and the perpendicular distance of S from the x-axis
is 6 units in the positive direction of y-axis, then the
coordinates of S are​

Answer 1

(6,-8) are the CO-ordinates of s

Answer 2

The point S has the coordinates of (-8, 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

A point S is at 8 units perpendicular distance from the y-axis in the negative direction of the x-axis.

Therefore, point S has the x-coordinate of - 8 units.

Now, the same point S is at 6 units perpendicular distance from the x-axis in the positive direction of the y-axis.

Therefore, point S has the y-coordinate of 6 units.

Hence, point S has the coordinates of (-8, 6). (Answer)

We know the coordinates of a point (a,b) means the point is a units perpendicular distance from the y-axis and b units perpendicular distance from the x-axis.
