In $\triangle P Q R$ shown, side $P R$ is horizontal and side $P Q$ is vertical. The coordinates of $P$ are
(A) $(-8,-2)$
(B) $(-6,-8)$
(C) $(-11,-6)$
(D) $(-11,-2)$
(E) $(-8,-6)$

Side $P R$ is horizontal and so the $y$-coordinate of $P$ is equal to the $y$-coordinate of $R$, or -2 .

Side $P Q$ is vertical and so the $x$-coordinate of $P$ is equal to the $x$-coordinate of $Q$, or -11 . Therefore, the coordinates of $P$ are $(-11,-2)$.

ANSWER: (D)
