Question

Plot the point P(– 6, 2) and from it draw PM and PN as perpendicular to x-axis and y-axis respectively. Write coordinates of the points M and N.

Answer 1

M = ( -6 , 0 )

N = ( 0 , 2 )

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: P(-6,2)

To find:

1)Plot the point.

2) draw PM and PN as perpendicular to x-axis and y-axis respectively.

3) Write coordinates of the points M and N.

Solution:

1)Plot the point:Make coordinate axis,X-axis and Y-AXIS,mark 1 cm distance on both these axis

point P(-6,2) lies in second Quadrant,as shown in attachment.

2) draw PM and PN as perpendicular to x-axis and y-axis respectively:

From P make a straight line towards -X-AXIS and Y-AXIS.As soon as these lines meet these axes respectively ,put the point M and N respectively.

3) Coordinates of M(-6,0)

Coordinates of N(0,2)

Hope it helps you.
