Chapter 6 Coordinate Geometry Ex 6.3
Question 1.
In which quadrant or on which axis does each of the points (-2,4), (3, – 1), (-1,0), (1, 2) and (-3, – 5) lie? Verify your answer by locating them on the cartesian plane.
Solution:
(i) (-2, 4) lies in II quadrant.
(ii) (3, -1) lies in IV quadrant.
(iii) (-1,0) lies on X-axis.
(iv) (1, 2) lies in I quadrant.
(v) (-3, -5) lies in III quadrant.
Question 2.
Plot the points (x, y) given in the following table on the plane, choosing suitable units of distance on the axes.
Solution:
Let 1 unit = 1 cm, then positions of given points in the cartesian plane are given below.
