medium · MCQ · Q-FBB912
Point A has coordinates (5, -2), and point B has coordinates (-3, 7). The coordinates of a point P having the same abscissa as A and the same ordinate as B are:
- A.(-3, -2)
- B.(5, 7)Correct answer
- C.(7, 5)
- D.(-2, -3)
Solution
The abscissa is the first coordinate, so P has abscissa 5. The ordinate is the second coordinate, so P has ordinate 7. Hence, .
