Point A is 10 units to the right of the origin and 9 units down. What are the coordinates of point A?
Answer (3)
Since you read coordinates on the x-axis (left and right) first, then the y-axis (up and down), the coordinates of this point will be (10, -9) . Any number beneath the x-axis or to the left of the y-axis is negative. When a point is 9 below the x-axis, its y-coordinate is -9. As for numbers above the x-axis and to the right of the y-axis, they are positive. If a point is 10 units to the right of the origin its x-coordinate is 10. Hope this helps!

The coordinates of a point in a two-dimensional space are represented in reference to the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical). Since Point A is 10 units to the right and 9 units down from the origin, its coordinates are (10,-9). ;
Point A is located at (10, -9) in the Cartesian coordinate system, where it is 10 units to the right and 9 units down from the origin. The x-coordinate is positive due to movement to the right, and the y-coordinate is negative due to movement downwards. Therefore, the coordinates of point A are (10, -9).
