A point P moves so that its distance from the -axis is always 3 and its distance from the -axis is always 4. It lies in Quadrant III.
What are the coordinates of P?

Class 9Plotting PointsCoordinate Geometry
  • A(-4, -3)
  • B(-3, -4)
  • C(4, -3)
  • D(-4, 3)

Step-by-Step Solution

Distance from -axis = || = 4 and III needs <0, so . Distance from -axis = || = 3 and <0, so .
Answer: A) (-4, -3)
