Question:
From the given figure, answer the following questions
(i) Write the points whose abscissa is 0.
(ii) Write the points whose ordinate is 0.
(iii) Write the points whose abscissa is – 5,
Solution:
(i) We know that, the point whose abscissa is 0 will lie on Y-axis. So, the required points whose abscissa is 0 are A, L and O.
(ii) We know that, the point whose ordinate is 0 will lie on X-axis. So, the required points, whose ordinate is 0 are G,l and O.
(iii) Here, abscissa ‘-5’ is negative, which shows that point with abscissa -5 will lie in II and III quadrants. So, the required points whose abscissa
is -5, are D and H.
Note: We know that, origin O is the intersection point of both axes. So, we can consider it on X-axis as well as on Y-axis.
