How do you determine the coordinates of a point in the plane?
The procedure to obtain the coordinates of a point in the plane.
Answer to Problem 1FCCE
Solution:
Draw the straight line through the point perpendicular to the
Explanation of Solution
Coordinate system is a method which is used to locate the point numerically on a plane.
Each point of the plane is identified by a pair of numbers
To read the coordinates
For example, to obtain the coordinates
Thus, draw the straight line through the point perpendicular to the x-axis (y-axis) and read the number on the axis, to determine the x-coordinate (y-coordinate).
