0%
$x$ is negative
0%
$y$ is positive
0%
$y$ is negative

Explanation

$y$ is negative

Which quadrant(s) have points with a positive abscissa?

0%
I, II
0%
I, IV
0%
I only
0%
IV only

Explanation

Abscissa is

$X$ -coordinate. Its positive in first and fourth quadrants.

$A$ is a point on

$x$ -axis at a distance

$4$ units from

$y$ -axis to its left.

The co-ordinates of

$A$ are:

0%
$(4,\,0)$
0%
$(0,\,4)$
0%
$(-4,\,0)$
0%
$(0,\,-4)$

Explanation

$A$ is a point on the

$x$ -axis, so its ordinate

$y=0$ .

Also,

$A$ lies

$4$ units to the left of

$y$ -axis, so its abscissa

$=-4$

The required co-ordinates of point

$A$ are

$(-4,\,0)$ .

So, option

$C$ is correct.

On which quadrant does

$P$ lie if its ordinate is

$5$ and the abscissa is

$-3$ ?

0%
$I$
0%
$II$
0%
$III$
0%
$IV$

Explanation

The co-ordinates of the given point

$P$ are

$(-3, 5)$ .

Hence,

$P$ lies in the

$II$ quadrant. (since abscissa (i.e, x coordinate) is negative and ordinate (y coordinate) is positive)

So, option

$B$ is correct.

$y$ -coordinate of a point is zero then the point will always lie

0%
in $I$ quadrant
0%
in $II$ quadrant
0%
on $X$ -axis
0%
on $Y$ -axis

Explanation

$X$ -axis, the

$y$ -coordinate of any point is always

$0$ .

So, option

$C$ is correct.

Which statement is true?

0%
The x-axis is a vertical line
0%
The point $(-2 , 3)$ lies in the III quadrant
0%
Origin is the point of intersection of the x-axis and y-axis
0%
The point $(-3, -4)$ lies in the II quadrant

Which option represent a point on the

$y$ -axis?

0%
$(7, 0)$
0%
$(6, 5)$
0%
$(5, 3)$
0%
$(0, 5)$

Explanation

We know, any point which lies on the

$y$ -axis will be of the form

$(0,y)$ , where

$y$ is any real number.

Here, only

$(0,5)$ is of the form

$(0,y)$ , where

$y=5$ .

Therefore, option

$D$ is correct.

The coordinates of the point S in the graph is:

0%
(-4, 2)
0%
(-2, -2)
0%
(0, 5)
0%
(2, 1)

Explanation

As per graph is given the scale of x-axis is 1 unit for one line and scale of y-axis is 1 unit of one line

Then we see in the figure, the point is in II quarter and on x-axis 4 lines and y -axis 2 line

So, coordinates of point

$S$ are

$(-4,2)$ .

The point

$(-5,4)$ lie in _____________

0%
The first quadrant
0%
The second quadrant
0%
The third quadrant
0%
The fourth quadrant

Explanation

When a coordinate point has its abscissa as negative real number and ordinate as a positive real number then the co-ordinate lies in the second quadrant.

Thus the point

$(-5,4)$ lie in the second quadrant

If a person moves either

$1$ unit in the direction of positive

$x$ -axis or

$1$ unit in the direction of positive

$y$ -axis per step, then the number of steps he requires to reach

$(10,12)$ starting from the origin

$(0,0)$ is _____________

0%
$10$
0%
$12$
0%
$22$
0%
$120$

Explanation

It is said that a person moves either

$1$ unit in the direction of the positive

$x$ -axis or

$y$ -axis.

From the origin, the number of steps in

$x$ -axis

$=10$ steps.

From the origin, the number of steps in

$y$ -axis

$=12$ steps.

$\therefore$ Total number of steps required will be

$10+12=22$ steps.

0%
None of these

Explanation

We know that, the

$x-coordinate$ of a point is also known as abscissa and the

$y-coordinate$ is known as ordinate.

Hence, the abscissa is the

$x–coordinate$ of any point

$A(x, y)$ .
