Question

Point M is 3 units away from the origin in the direction of the x axis, and 5 units away in the direction of the y axis. what could be the coordinates of point M?

Answer 1

.

Explanation:

Answer 2

In this case what we are looking for is a point of the form:
(x, y) = (xo, yo)
Where,
xo: x coordinate
yo: coordinate and
We have then:
"3 units away from the origin in the direction of the x axis"
xo = 3
"5 units away in the direction of the and axis"
yo = 5
The point sought is:
(x, y) = (3, 5)
Answer:
the coordinates of point M could be:
M = (x, y) = (3, 5)
