Question 6
In the figure, LM is a line parallel to the y-axis at a distance of 3 units.
a. What are the coordinates of the points P, R and Q?
b. What is the difference between the abscissa of the points L and M?

Answer 1

Given, LM is a line parallel to the y-axis and its perpendicular distance from Y-axis is 3 units.
a. Coordinate of point P = (3, 2) [since, its perpendicular distance from X-axis is 2]
Coordinate of point Q = (3, -1) [since its perpendicular distance from X-axis is 1 in negative direction of y-axis]
Coordinate of point R = (3, 0) [since its lies on X-axis, its y-coordinate is zero]
b. Abscissa of point L = 3, abscissa of point M = 3
Difference = 3 - 3 =0
