A point lies at distance 3 units from the -axis and 4 units from the -axis, and it is in Quadrant II.
Use the signs of Quadrant II to fix each coordinate.
What are the coordinates of the point?

Class 8Coordinates of a PointCoordinate Geometry
  • A(3, 4)
  • B(-3, 4)
  • C(-3, -4)
  • D(3, -4)

Step-by-Step Solution

Distance 3 from -axis gives || = 3, distance 4 from -axis gives || = 4. Quadrant II is (-, +), so the point is (-3, 4).
Answer: B) (-3, 4)
