Question

Read the graph paper given below and answer the following:
(i) Write the points whose ordinate is 0.
(ii) Write the points whose abscissa is 0.
(iii) Write the points whose ordinate is −3.
(iv) Write the points whose abscissa is 2.
(v) Write the coordinates of all points in quadrant II.
(vi) Write the coordinates of all those points for which abscissa and ordinate have the same value.

Answer 1

(i) The points G(-3,0), H(-8,0), Q(4,0)and R(9,0) lie on the x-axis. Hence, their ordinates are equal to 0.

(ii) The points L(0,-6), K(0,-2), D(0,3) and C(0,7) lie on the y-axis. Hence, their abscissae are equal to 0.

(iii) The ordinates of points M(1,-3), J(-4,-3) and P(6,-3) are equal to -3.

(iv) B(2,4) and N 2,-1)

(v) The points E and F lie in quadrant II.
Coordinates of E = (-4,4)
Coordinates of F = (-6,2)
(vi) A( 3,3) and I(-2,-2)
