B 6 0 (6, 0)
C 0 6 (0, 6)
D -3 0 (-3,0)
E -4 3 (-4,3)
F -2 -4 (-2,-4)
G 0 -5 (0,-5)
H 3 -6 (3,-6)
P 7 -3 (7,-3)
Q 7 6 (7,6)
Explanation for Coordinates of A:
The distance of point A form y-axis is 3 units and from x-axis is 1 unit.
A lies in the first quadrant, so both the coordinates are positive.
This implies, coordinates of A are (3,1).
Similarly, other points are,
A (3, 1), B (6, 0), C (0, 6), D (-3, 0), E (-4, 3), F (-2, -4), G (0, -5), H (3, -
6), P (7, -3), Q (7, 6)
