See Fig.3.14, and write the following:
(i) The coordinates of B.
(ii) The coordinates of C.
(iii) The point identified by the coordinates (–3, –5).
(iv) The point identified by the coordinates (2, – 4).
(v) The abscissa of the point D.
(vi) The ordinate of the point H.
(vii) The coordinates of the point L.
(viii) The coordinates of the point M.
See Fig.3.14, and write the following:
(i) The coordinates of B.
(ii) The coordinates of C.
(iii) The point identified by the coordinates (–3, –5).
(iv) The point identified by the coordinates (2, – 4).
(v) The abscissa of the point D.
(vi) The ordinate of the point H.
(vii) The coordinates of the point L.
(viii) The coordinates of the point M.
Solution and Explanation
(i) The x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of point B are −5 and 2 respectively. Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (−5, 2).
(ii) The x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of point C are 5 and −5 respectively. Therefore, the coordinates of point C are (5, −5).
(iii) The point whose x-coordinate and y-coordinate are −3 and −5 respectively is point E.

Coordinate Geometry
The central idea in coordinate geometry is to assign numerical coordinates to points in a plane or space, which allows us to describe their positions and relationships using algebraic equations. The most common coordinate system is the Cartesian coordinate system, named after the French mathematician and philosopher René Descartes.
