9th chp 3 Coordinate Geometry

The point at which two coordinates axes meet is know as

• the abscissa

• the ordinate

• the origin

• the quadrant

The point X(-6, 4) lies in

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV

The point P(6,-6) lies in

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV

The point A(0,-6) lies

• in the Quadrant I

• in the Quadrant IV

• On the X-axis

• On the Y-axis

The point D(-7,0) lies

• on X-axis

• On Y-axis

• in the quadrant IV

• in the quadrant II

If x>0 and y < 0, then point (x,y) lies in

• quadrant I

• quadrant II

• quadrant III

• quadrant IV

The points (other than origin) for which the abscissa is equal to ordinate lie in

• quadrant I only

• quadrants I and II

• quadrants I and III

• quadrants IV and II

The points which have different signs will lie in

• quadrants I and II

• quadrants I and IV

• quadrants IV and II

• quadrant II only

The perpendicular distance of point B(8,6) from Y-axis is

• 8 units

• 6 units

• 14 units

• 3 units

A point both of whose coordinates are negative lies in

• quadrant I

• quadrant II

• quadrants III

• quadrant IV
