Question

Abscissa of a point is positive in __________ .

• A. 1^st quadrant
• B. 4^th quadrant
• C. 2^nd Quadrant
• D. Both 1^st quadrant and 4^th quadrant

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Both 1^st quadrant and 4^th quadrant

Distance of a point from y-axis is called abscissa.
In order to have positive values of abscissa, the x-values should be positive.
x - values are positive in 1^st quadrant and 4^th quadrant.
So, points in 1^st quadrant and 4^th quadrant have positive abscissa.
