Given:

A point on a graph.

To find:

The location of the point.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the point lies in the third quadrant, it means both coordinates are negative.

The distance between point and y-axis = 1

The distance between point and x-axis = 2

It means, the x-coordinate is -1 and the y-coordinate is -2. So, the location of the given point is (-1,-2).

Therefore, the correct option is B.
