• (1, 3)

• (−3, −3)

• (−3, 3)

• (3, 1)

Answer 1

(3, 1)

Explanation:

(1) For (1, 3)

The distance from the x-axis |3| = 3

So, (1, 3) can be coordinates of A.

(2) For (−3, −3)

The distance from x-axis is |−3| = 3

So (−3, −3) can be coordinates of A.

(3) For (−3, 3)

The distance from x-axis is |3| = 3

So (−3, 3) can be coordinates of A.

(4) For (3, 1)

The distance from x-axis is |1| = 1

So (3, 1) can not be the coordinates of A.
