The center of the clock is taken as the origin.The clock is a circle with a diameter 10 units.Radius is half the diameter .Radius = 10 ÷2= 5 units.

The clock is divided in four quadrants .On x axis y=0 and on y axis x=0.

When it is 12 o'clock the hour hand is on positive of y axis.Coordinates of the point at 12 o'clock=(0,5)

When it is 3 o 'clock the hour hand is on positive of x axis .Coordinate of the point at 3o'clock is (5,0)

When it is 6 o'clock the hour hand is on negative of y axis .The coordinates of the point at 6o'clock is (0,-5)

At 9o'clock the hour hand is on negative of x axis .The coordinate of the point at 6o'clock is(-5,0)
