A point is 4 units to the left of the y-axis and 3 units above the x-axis. What are its coordinates?
- A.(4, 3)
- B.(-4, 3)Correct answer
- C.(4, -3)
- D.(-4, -3)
Solution
Moving left of the y-axis gives a negative abscissa, and moving above the x-axis gives a positive ordinate. Therefore, the coordinates are .
