Question 1. What are the coordinates of A, B, C and D in the following figure?

Solution: The coordinates of A are (–4, 3).
The coordinates of B are (4, 2).
The coordinates of C are (–3, –2).
The coordinates of D are (4, –2).
 

Question 2. Look at the following figure and answer the following:
(i) What is the abscissa of P?
(ii) What is the ordinate of Q?
(iii) What is the ordinate of R?
(iv) What is the abscissa of S?

Solution: (i) The abscissa of P is –3.
(ii) The ordinate of Q is –2.
(iii) The ordinate of R is 2.
(iv) The abscissa of S is –5.
 

Question 3. Look at the following figure and answer the following:

(i) Which point is having its ordinate as (–5)?
(ii) Which point is having abscissa as 4?
(iii) What are the coordinates of origin?
(iv) Which point is having abscissa as (–3)?
Solution: (i) The point B is having its ordinate as (–5).
(ii) The point C is having its abscissa as 4.
(iii) The coordinates of O are (0, 0).
(iv) The point A is having abscissa as (–3).

Question 4. Look at the following figure and answer the following:
(i) Which two points have the same abscissa?

(ii) Which two points have the same ordinate?

Solution: (i) ∵ The abscissa of the point Q is 6.  
The abscissa of the point R is 6.
∴The points Q and R have the same abscissa.
(ii) ∵ The ordinate of P is (–3).  
The ordinate of R is (–3).
∴ The points P and R have the same ordinate.
