Question 12
Taking 0.5 cm as 1 unit, plot the following points on the graph paper.
A(1, 3), B(-3, -1), C(1, -4), D(-2, 3), E(0, -8) and F(1, 0)

Answer 1

Here, in point A(1, 3) both x and y-coordinates are positive, so it lies in I quadrant.
In point B(-3, -1) both x, and y-coordinates are negative, so it lies in III quadrant.
In point C(1, -4), x-coordinates is positive and y-coordinate is negative. So it lies in IV quadrant.
In point D(-2, 3), x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive, so it lies in II quadrant.
In point E(0, -8) x-coordinate is zero, so it lies on the y-axis and in Point F(1,0) y-coordinate is zero, so it lies on the x-axis.

On plotting the given points, we get the following graph
