(N/A) $(i)$ Since the distance of the point $B$ from the $y$-axis is $4$ units,the $x$-coordinate or abscissa of the point $B$ is $4$. The distance of the point $B$ from the $x$-axis is $3$ units; therefore,the $y$-coordinate,i.e.,the ordinate,of the point $B$ is $3$. Hence,the coordinates of the point $B$ are $(4, 3)$.
As in $(i)$ above:
$(ii)$ The $x$-coordinate and the $y$-coordinate of the point $M$ are $-3$ and $4$,respectively. Hence,the coordinates of the point $M$ are $(-3, 4)$.
$(iii)$ The $x$-coordinate and the $y$-coordinate of the point $L$ are $-5$ and $-4$,respectively. Hence,the coordinates of the point $L$ are $(-5, -4)$.
$(iv)$ The $x$-coordinate and the $y$-coordinate of the point $S$ are $3$ and $-4$,respectively. Hence,the coordinates of the point $S$ are $(3, -4)$.

(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 $(3, 4).$
