Answer:

<h3>Option D) The y-coordinates are opposite numbers is correct</h3><h3>The above statement is not true when we comparing the given points (3, 4) and (−3, 4).</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are (3, 4) and (−3, 4).

The point (3,4) is located 3 units to the right x axis(positive) and upwards right to the y axis 4 units.

The point (-3,4) is located 3 units to the left x axis(negative) and upwards left to the y axis 4 units.

This shows that both points are 3 units away from the y-axis. This means their<u> y-coordinates are equal</u> not their x coordinates.

<h3>Hence the options A) ,B) and C) are all true with the given statement</h3><h3>Option D) The y-coordinates are opposite numbers is correct</h3><h3>The above statement is not true when we comparing the given points (3, 4) and (−3, 4).</h3>
