Coordinate Geometry-Important Questions

1.  In which quadrant or on which axis do each of the points (-2,4), (3,-1), (-4,0), (2,3) lie?

2.  What is the abscissa of origin?

3.  At what point the axes intersect?

4.  What is the sign of y-coordinate below the x-axis?

5.  What are the coordinates of a point lying on the y-axis at negative 3 units?

6.  If the y- coordinate of a point is zero, then where does this point lie?

7.  What are the coordinates of a point whose ordinate is 5 and lying on the y-axis?

8.  If the two points are A (-3,7) and B(-7,5), then what is (abscissa A)- (abscissa B)?

9.  What is the sign of x-coordinate in quadrant II?

10.  A point is such that (abscissa of the point, other than zero) that it equals to the ordinate of the point. In which quadrants can the point lie?
