Coordinate Geometry Concepts

The video tutorial covers the basics of coordinate geometry, focusing on the Cartesian plane, determining coordinates, and plotting points. It explains the significance of the x-axis and y-axis, how to identify quadrants, and provides practical examples to reinforce learning.

What is required to locate the position of a point in a plane?

• A circle

• A single line

• Two perpendicular lines

• Two parallel lines

What is the name of the plane formed by the horizontal and vertical lines?

• Polar plane

• Elliptical plane

• Cartesian plane

• Spherical plane

What is the point of intersection of the coordinate axes called?

• Vertex

• Origin

• Center

• Focus

How do you determine the x-coordinate of a point?

• By measuring the distance from the z-axis

• By measuring the distance from the origin

• By measuring the distance from the x-axis

• By measuring the distance from the y-axis

In which quadrant do both x and y coordinates have positive values?

• Fourth quadrant

• Second quadrant

• First quadrant

• Third quadrant

What is the y-coordinate of any point lying on the x-axis?

• 1

• 0

• -1

• It varies

If a point has coordinates (-3, 2), in which quadrant does it lie?

• Fourth quadrant

• Third quadrant

• Second quadrant

• First quadrant

What is the abscissa of a point?

• The distance from the y-axis

• The x-coordinate

• The distance from the origin

• The y-coordinate

What is the ordinate of a point?

• The distance from the origin

• The y-coordinate

• The distance from the x-axis

• The x-coordinate

In which quadrant is the x-coordinate positive and the y-coordinate negative?

• Third quadrant

• Fourth quadrant

• Second quadrant

• First quadrant
