Question

Name the coordinates of each point.

$\mathit{V}$

Short answer

The name of the coordinate of point$\mathit{V}$is$\left(-4,-2\right)$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Observe the figure.

From the figure it can be observed that, it is the$x-y$ plane with several coordinates$J,K,M,N,O,P,Q,$ and so on are marked on it.

Step 2. Define coordinate of a point.

Coordinate $\left(x,y\right)$ of a point is an ordered pair of numbers; that is, a number on the x-axis called an x-coordinate, and a number on the y-axis called a y-coordinate.

Step 3. Name the coordinates of the point V.

Steps to find the coordinate of point$V$are:

• Point$V$is 4 units away from origin in negative x-axis. Thus, the x-coordinate is 4.
• Then point$V$is 2 units away from origin in negative y-axis. Thus, the y-coordinate is $-2$.

Therefore, the coordinates of point $V$is $\left(-4,-2\right)$.
