Solution
a. Lions are at a distance of A units from road Y and f units from road X.
∴ The location of lions is represented by the point (Af)
b. Observing the map carefully, we see that (D, f) denotes the location of monkeys and (C, d) denotes the location of elephants.
c. Toilets are located on the road Y at a distance of e units from the origin. Hence, the location of toilets is (0, e).
d. Canteen is located at a distance of C units from road Y and c units from road X. Hence, the location of the canteen is (C, c).

This graph shows a map of an island just off the coast of a continent. The point labelled B represents a major city on the coast. The distance between grid lines represents 1 km.
Point A represents a resort that is located 5 km East and 3 km North of Point B. The values 5 and 3 are the coordinates of Point A. The coordinates can be given as the ordered pair (5, 3), where 5 is the horizontal coordinate and 3 is the vertical coordinate.
