Find the coordinates of the point located 2 units to the left of the y -axis and 9 units above the x -axis.
A) (2,−9) ( 2 , - 9 ) (2,−9)
B) (−2,−9) ( - 2 , - 9 ) (−2,−9)
C) (−9,2) ( - 9,2 ) (−9,2)
D) (−2,9) ( - 2,9 ) (−2,9)
E) (2,9) ( 2,9 ) (2,9)
Y-axis
The vertical line in a coordinate plane that measures the second coordinate of a point (its ordinate).
X-axis
The x-axis is the horizontal axis in a coordinate plane, used to represent one dimension of data or to plot the values of a function.
- Identify the coordinates of a specific point or calculate the length of line segments within geometrical problems.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Moving 2 units to the left of the y-axis means the x-coordinate is -2. Moving 9 units above the x-axis means the y-coordinate is 9. Therefore, the coordinates are (−2,9)(-2, 9)(−2,9) .
