Plot the point $P( -6,\ 2)$ and from it draw $PM$ and $PN$ as perpendicular to $x-axi$ & $y-axis$ respectively. Write the co-ordinates of the point $M$ & $N$.

Given: A point $P( -6,\ 2)$.

To do: Plot the point. Draw $PM$ and $PN$ as perpendicular to $x-axis$ and $y-axis$ respectively. Write coordinates of the points $M$ and $N$.

Solution:



i). Plot the point  $P( -6,\ 2)$.

ii). Point $P( -6,\ 2)$ lies in second Quadrant.

iii). Draw $PM$ and $PN$ as perpendicular to $x-axis$ and $y-axis$ respectively.

Because Coordinates of $y$ on $x-axis$ is always $0$.

Therefore, Coordinates of $M=( -6,\ 0)$

Similarly, Coordinates of $x$ on $y-axis$ is always $0$.

Therefore, Coordinates of $N=( 0,\ 2)$.
