The answer is that because the x-axis for A is positive and it is 6 points away from the origin. The y-axis for A should negative this is because the quadrants are often numbered from 1st to 4th and denoted by Roman numerals: I (where the signs of the (x; y) coordinates are I (+; +), II (−; +), III (−; −), and IV (+; −). The point is also 6 units away from the origin.
