A. in I quadrant

B. in II quadrant

C. on x-axis

D. on y-axis

Solution:

C. on x-axis

Explanation:

We know that if the y-coordinate of a point, i.e., the ordinate is zero, then this point always lies on

x-axis.

Hence, (C) is the correct option.

11. The points (–5, 2) and (2, – 5) lie in the

A. same quadrant
B. II and III quadrants, respectively
C. II and IV quadrants, respectively

Solution:

C. on x-axis

Explanation:

(-5,2) is of the form (-x,y) so it lies in the II quadrant.

(2,-5) is of the form (x,-y) so it lies in IV quadrant.

(C) II and IV quadrants, respectively

Hence, (C) is the correct option.

12. If the perpendicular distance of a point P from the x-axis is 5 units and the foot of the perpendicular lies in the negative direction of the x-axis, then point P has

A. x – coordinate = – 5
B. y – coordinate = 5 only
C. y – coordinate = – 5 only
D. y – coordinate = 5 or –5

Solution:

D. y – coordinate = 5 or –5

Explanation:

Perpendicular distance from x-axis = Ordinate = 5

The negative direction of the x-axis doesn’t decide the sign of the ordinate.

(D) y-coordinate = 5 or -5.

Hence, (D) is the correct option.

Hence, the points are not collinear.

(iii)

The points (0, 0), (2, 2), (5, 5) lie in a straight line,

Hence, the points are collinear.

5. Without plotting the points, indicate the quadrant in which they will lie, if
