i. the ordinate is 5 and abscissa is - 3.
ii. the abscissa is - 5 and ordinate is - 3.
iii. the abscissa is -5 and ordinate is 3.
iv. the ordinate is 5 and abscissa is 3.

Answer 1

a.The given point is (-3, 5), here, the abscissa is negative and ordinate is positive, so it lies in II quadrant.
b. The given point is (-5, -3), Here, the abscissa is ordinate both are negative, so it lies in III quadrant.
c. The given point is (-5, 3), Here, the abscissa is negative and ordinate is positive, so it lies in II quadrant.
