What is the correct way to write a pair of co-ordinates?
- (y, x)
- (x, y)
Correct Answer

A. (x, y)

Explanation

The correct way to write a pair of coordinates is (x, y). In coordinate systems, the x-coordinate represents the horizontal position and the y-coordinate represents the vertical position. Therefore, it is customary to write the x-coordinate first, followed by the y-coordinate.

What are the co-ordinates for point A?
- (-4, -3)
- (3, -4)
- (-3, 4)
- (-3, -4)
- (-4, 3)
Correct Answer

A. (-4, 3)

Explanation

The correct answer is (-4, 3). This is because the coordinates (-4, 3) match the given coordinates for point A. The x-coordinate is -4 and the y-coordinate is 3.

6.

What are the co-ordinates for the point A?
- (-7, 0)
- (0, -7)
- (0, 7)
- (7, 0)
- (-0, -0)
Correct Answer

A. (0, -7)

Explanation

The co-ordinates for the point A are (0, -7). This can be determined by looking at the given options and identifying the one that matches the given co-ordinates. The x-coordinate is 0 and the y-coordinate is -7, which is represented by the option (0, -7).

7.

WHat are the co-ordinates of the point marked A?
- (-3, 0)
- (0, 3)
- (0, -3)
- (0, 0)
- (3, 0)
Correct Answer

A. (-3, 0)

Explanation

The correct answer is (-3, 0) because the point A is marked at the coordinates (-3, 0) on the coordinate plane. This means that the x-coordinate is -3 and the y-coordinate is 0.

What are the co-ordinates for point A?
- (5, 2)
- (2, -5)
- (2, 5)
- (5, -2)
- (-5, -2)
Correct Answer

A. (5, -2)

Explanation

The correct answer is (5, -2) because it is the only option that matches the given coordinates. The x-coordinate is 5, which corresponds to the first number in the ordered pair, and the y-coordinate is -2, which corresponds to the second number. None of the other options have the same combination of x and y coordinates.

What are the co-ordinates of point A?
- (0, 6)
- (6, 0)
- (-6, 0)
- (0, 0)
- (0, -6)
Correct Answer

A. (0, -6)

Explanation

The correct answer is (0, -6). This is because the coordinates represent the position of a point in a Cartesian coordinate system. In this system, the x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of the point, and the y-coordinate represents the vertical position. Therefore, the point A has an x-coordinate of 0, indicating that it is located on the y-axis. The y-coordinate is -6, indicating that it is 6 units below the origin.

What are the co-ordinates for point A?
- (0, 0)
- (0, 1)
- (1, 0)
- 0, -1)
- (-1, 0)
Correct Answer

A. (1, 0)

Explanation

The correct answer is (1, 0) because the given coordinates represent the x and y values of a point on a coordinate plane. In this case, the x-coordinate is 1 and the y-coordinate is 0, indicating that point A is located one unit to the right of the origin (0, 0) on the x-axis.

11.

What are the co-ordinates for point A?
- (3, -8)
- (3, 8)
- (-3, -8)
- (-3, 8)
- (-8, -3)
Correct Answer

A. (-3, -8)

Explanation

The correct answer is (-3, -8) because the coordinates represent the position of point A on a coordinate plane. The first number in the pair represents the x-coordinate, which is the horizontal position of the point, and the second number represents the y-coordinate, which is the vertical position of the point. In this case, the x-coordinate is -3, indicating that the point is 3 units to the left of the origin, and the y-coordinate is -8, indicating that the point is 8 units below the origin.
