P-abscissa = 8 Ordinate = 8, Q-abscissa = 6; Ordinate = -8

P-abscissa = 9 Ordinate = 2, Q-abscissa = 9; Ordinate = 3

P-abscissa = 10 Ordinate = 3, Q-abscissa = 3; Ordinate = -2

P-abscissa = 18 Ordinate = 5, Q-abscissa = 1; Ordinate = 8

answer is A.

Detailed Solution

It is known that,
Distance of point from x axis = Absissa (x-coordinate)
Given point in first part is,

P (8, 8)

Here, given point is at distance of 8 units from Y-axis and also at 8 units X-axis from origin.
So, abscissa = 8(x - coordinate);
Ordinate = 8(y - coordinate)
Now, the points given in second part,

Q (6, - 8)

Point Q is at 6 units from Y-axis and at 8 distance from X-axis measured along negative Y-axis.
So,
Abscissa = 6; Ordinate = -8
So, option 1 is Correct.
