Question

State on which axis or quadrant the following points belong:
$M(-3,-5),N(2,0),S(0,-5),K(-2,3),T(4,0),E(7,8),F(0,1),O(0,0)$.

Answer 1

We know,

Point $(a,b)$ lies on the:

$x$-axis if $b=0$

$y$-axis if $a=0$.

Also, the given point lies in the:

First quadrant, if $a>0$ and $b>0$,

Second quadrant, if $a<0$ and $b>0$,

Third quadrant, if $a<0$ and $b<0$ and

Fourth quadrant, if $a>0$ and $b<0$.

Here,

Quadrant $I$ : $E(7,8)$,

Quadrant $II$ : $K(-2,3)$,

Quadrant $III$: $M(-3,-5)$,

$Y$-axis = $F(0,1)$ and $S(0,-5)$,

$X$-axis = $N(2,0)$ and $T(4,0)$ and

Origin = $(0,0)$.
