#### Question 2:

Write the coordinates of each of the following points marked in the graph paper:

The following graph is given in the question with the marked points and we are asked to write down their coordinates.

The distance of point A from y-axis is 3 units and that of from x-axis is 1 units. Since A lies in the first quadrant, so its coordinates are.

The distance of point B from y-axis is 6 units and that of from x-axis is 0 units. Since B lies on x-axis, so its coordinates are

The distance of point C from y-axis is 0 units and that of from x-axis is 6 units. Since C lies on y-axis, so its coordinates are.

The distance of point D from y-axis is -3 units and that of from x-axis is 0 units. Since D lies on x-axis, so its coordinates are.

The distance of point E from y-axis is -4 units and that of from x-axis is 3 units. Since E lies in the second quadrant, so its coordinates are.

The distance of point F from y-axis is -2 units and that of from x-axis is -4 units. Since F lies in the third quadrant, so its coordinates are.

The distance of point G from y-axis is 0 units and that of from x-axis is -5 units. Since G lies on y-axis, so its coordinates are.

The distance of point H from y-axis is 3 units and that of from x-axis is -6 units. Since H lies in the fourth quadrant, so its coordinates are.

The distance of point P from y-axis is 7 units and that of from x-axis is -3 units. Since P lies in the fourth quadrant, so its coordinates are.

The distance of point Q from y-axis is 7 units and that of from x-axis is 6 units. Since Q lies in the first quadrant, so its coordinates are.

#### Question 1:

Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

The point of intersect of the coordinate axes is

(a) ordinate

(b) abscissa

(d) origin

As we know that:

The distance of a point from y−axis is called its x−coordinate or abscissa.

The distance of a point from x−axis is called its y−coordinate or ordinate.

The coordinate axes divide the plane into four equal parts which are known as quadrants.

The point of intersection of the coordinate axes is called the origin and the coordinates of origin are.

Example is shown in the graph

Thus the correct answer is (d).

#### Question 2:

The abscissa and ordinate of the origin are

(a) (0, 0)

(b) (1, 0)

(c) (0, 1)

(d) (1, 1)

As we know that:

The distance of a point from y−axis is called its x−coordinate or abscissa.

The distance of a point from x−axis is called its y−coordinate or ordinate.

The coordinate axes divide the plane into four equal parts which are known as quadrants.

The point of intersection of the coordinate axes is called the origin and the coordinates of origin are.

The origin is shown in the graph

Thus the correct answer is (a).

#### Question 3:

The measure of the angle between the coordinate axes is

(a) 0°

(b) 90°

(c) 180°

(d) 360°

Thus the correct answer is (b).

#### Question 4:

A point whose abscissa and ordinate are 2 and −5 respectively, lies in

As shown in graph that a point whose abscissa and ordinate areand respectively lies in the fourth quadrant.

Thus the correct answer is (d).

#### Question 6:

The ordinate of any point on x-axis is

(a) 0

(b) 1

We know that the y−coordinates of every point on x−axis are zero. So, the coordinates of any point on the x−axis are of the form.

Thus the correct answer is (a).

#### Question 7:

The abscissa of any point on y-axis is

(a) 0

(b) 1

(c) −1

(d) any number

We know that the x−coordinate of every point on y-axis is zero. So, the coordinates of any point on the x−axis are of the form.

Thus the correct answer is (a).

#### Question 8:

The abscissa of a point is positive in the

The signs of coordinates of a point in various quadrants are shown in the following graph:

Thus the correct answer is (d).

#### Question 9:

A point whose abscissa is −3 and ordinate 2 lies in

As we know that

The point whose abscissa is −3 which is negative and ordinate 2 is positive, so this point lies in the second quadrant.

(a) x-axis

(b) y-axis

(c) a line parallel to y-axis

(d) a line parallel to x-axis

(a) 4

(b) 3

(c) 5

(d) none of these
