Question

1. what are the coordinates of p? kite (-b,0) (0,-b) (0,b) (-a,0)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate - axis properties

In a coordinate system, points on the x - axis have a y - coordinate of 0. Points to the left of the origin have a negative x - coordinate and points to the right have a positive x - coordinate.

Step2: Analyze the position of point P

Point P lies on the x - axis and is to the left of the origin. Given the point on the right side of the origin on the x - axis is (b, 0), by symmetry, the x - coordinate of P is - b and y - coordinate is 0.

Answer:

(-b, 0)
