(N/A) You can see that:
$(i)$ The point $A$ is at a distance of $+4$ units from the $y$-axis and at a distance of $0$ from the $x$-axis. Therefore,the $x$-coordinate of $A$ is $4$ and the $y$-coordinate is $0$. Hence,the coordinates of $A$ are $(4, 0)$.
(ii) The point $B$ is on the $y$-axis at a distance of $3$ units from the origin. Therefore,the $x$-coordinate is $0$ and the $y$-coordinate is $3$. Hence,the coordinates of $B$ are $(0, 3)$.
(iii) The point $C$ is on the $x$-axis at a distance of $5$ units to the left of the origin. Therefore,the $x$-coordinate is $-5$ and the $y$-coordinate is $0$. Hence,the coordinates of $C$ are $(-5, 0)$.
(iv) The point $D$ is on the $y$-axis at a distance of $4$ units below the origin. Therefore,the $x$-coordinate is $0$ and the $y$-coordinate is $-4$. Hence,the coordinates of $D$ are $(0, -4)$.
$(v)$ The point $E$ is on the $x$-axis at a distance of $\frac{2}{3}$ units from the origin. Therefore,the $x$-coordinate is $\frac{2}{3}$ and the $y$-coordinate is $0$. Hence,the coordinates of $E$ are $(\frac{2}{3}, 0)$.

How will you describe the position of a table lamp on your study table to another person?

(Street Plan) : $A$ city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction. All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are $200 \,m$ apart. There are $5$ streets in each direction. Using $1 \,cm = 200 \,m$,draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines. There are many cross-streets in your model. $A$ particular cross-street is made by two streets,one running in the North-South direction and another in the East-West direction. Each cross-street is referred to in the following manner: If the $2^{nd}$ street running in the North-South direction and $5^{th}$ in the East-West direction meet at some crossing,then we will call this cross-street $(2, 5).$ Using this convention,find:
$(i)$ how many cross-streets can be referred to as $(4, 3).$
$(ii)$ how many cross-streets can be referred to as $(3, 4).$
