Question

From the figure given below write each of the following:
(i) The coordinates of point D
(ii) The abscissa of the point A
(iii) The point whose coordinates are (2, −3)
(iv) The point whose coordinates are (−3, −4)
(v) The ordinate of point E
(vi) The coordinates of B
(vii) The coordinates of F
(viii) The coordinates of the origin

Answer 1

(i) As the abscissa of point D is 0 and the ordinate is -5, the coordinates of point D are (0,-5).
(ii) The abscissa of point A is -4.
(iii) The coordinates of point E are (2,-3).

(iv) The coordinates of point C are (-3,-4).
(v) Ordinate of point E = -3
(vi) The point B lies on the x-axis, i.e., abscissa = -2 and ordinate = 0.
So, the coordinates of B are (-2,0).
(vii) Abscissa of point F = 5 and ordinate = -1
​So, coordinates of point F are (5,-1).

(viii) The coordinates of the origin are (0,0).
