Answer

The coordinates of the given points are: $A(-5, 1)$ $B(0, 5)$ $C(5, 3)$ $D(0, -1)$ $E(2, -4)$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: For the point $(x, y)$: $x$ = directed distance of the point from the y-axis (positive when to the right of the y-axis, negative when to the left) $y$ = directed distance of the point from the x-axis (positive when above the y-axis, negative when below) Using the definition above as guide, the coordinates of the given points are: $A(-5, 1)$ $B(0, 5)$ $C(5, 3)$ $D(0, -1)$ $E(2, -4)$
