Answer
Draw the perpendiculars from the $\text{AF, BG, CH, DI}$ and $EJ$ on the $x$-axis.
$1.$ The distance of $A$ from the $y-$axis $= OF = -6$ units
The distance of $A$ from the $x-$axis $= AF = 5$ units
Hence, the coordinate of $A$ are $(-6, 5)$
$2.$ The distance of $B$ from the $y$-axis $= OG = 5$ units
The distance of $B$ from the $x-$axis $= BG = 4$ units
Hence, the coordinate of $B$ are $(5, 4)$
$3.$ The distance of $C$ from the $y-$axis $= OH = -3$ units
The distance of $C$ from the $x-$axis $= HC = 2$ units
Hence, the coordinate of $C$ are $(-3, 2)$
$4.$ The distance of $D$ from the $y-$axis $= OI = 2$ units
The distance of $D$ from the $x-$axis $= ID= -2$ units
Hence, the coordinate of $D$ are $(2, -2)$
$5.$ The distance of $E$ from the $y-$axis $= OJ = -1$ unit
The distance of $E$ from the $x-$axis $= JE = -4$ units
Hence, the coordinate of $E$ are $(-1, -4)$
Thus, the coordinates of $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ are respectively, $A(-6, 5), B(5, 4), C(-3, 2), D(2, -2)$ and $E(-1, -4)$

The distance of $E$ from the $x-$axis $= JE = -4$ units
Hence, the coordinate of $E$ are $(-1, -4)$
Thus, the coordinates of $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ are respectively, $A(-6, 5), B(5, 4), C(-3, 2), D(2, -2)$ and $E(-1, -4)$
