Hey dear,
◆ Answer -
a = -5
b = 9
◆ Explanation -
Coordinates of new origin are (-5,9).
In new coordinate-system, (3, b) lies on the X-axis. This means Y-axis is shifted by b. But we know that the shift is 9, hence b = 9.
In new coordinate-system, (a, 3) lies on the Y-axis. This means X-axis is shifted by a. But we know that the shift is -5, hence a = -5.
Hope this helped you..
