Write the coordinates of each point.

$6$ units to the right of the y-axis and $1$ unit below the x-axis.

$3$ units to the left of the y-axis and $4$ units above the x-axis.

On the x-axis, $7$ units to the left of the origin.

Need a reminder? The key ideaShow

A point is $(x, y)$ : go $x$ along the x-axis, then $y$ up or down. The signs choose the quadrant: I $(+, +)$ , II $(-, +)$ , III $(-, -)$ , IV $(+, -)$ . A point on an axis lies in no quadrant: $y = 0$ on the x-axis, $x = 0$ on the y-axis.

The worked solution

Have you tried it?

Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
