Question

Name the coordinates of each point.

V.

Short answer

The name of the coordinate of pointV is $(-4,-2)$.

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 (x, y) of apoint is an ordered pair of numbers; that is, a number on thex-axis called anx-coordinate, and a number on they-axis called ay-coordinate.

Step 3. Name the coordinates of the point V. 

Steps to find the coordinate of pointare:

• PointV is 4 units away from origin in negativex-axis. Thus, thex-coordinate is 4.
• Then point V is 2 units away from origin in negativey-axis. Thus, they-coordinate is -2.

Therefore, the coordinates of pointV is (-4, -2).
