The coordinates for Point C is (-3,2). This is because you have to go left 3 times into Quadrant 2. Then, go up twice. That is where you will find Point C.

Answer:

The coordinate of Point c is ( -3 , 2 ).

Explanation:

Given: Point C in graph

To find: Coordinate of Point C

Coordinates of any point in a Cartesian plane is written in the form of ( x , y )

where value of x is the perpendicular distance of point from y-axis and value of y is the perpendicular distance of point from x-axis.

As we see in graph blue lines are perpendicular lines on axis.

From Graph Point C is in 2nd Quadrant where x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive.

Point C is 3 units away from y-axis on a perpendicular line.

⇒ x = -3

Point C is 2 unit away from x-axis on a perpendicular line.

⇒ y = 2

Therefore, The coordinate of Point c is ( -3 , 2 ).
