Answer:

The following graph is given in the question with the marked points and we are asked to write down their coordinates.

The distance of point A from y-axis is 3 units and that of from x-axis is 1 units. Since A lies in the first quadrant, so its coordinates are.

Question 7:

Which of the following points lie on y-axis?
A(1, 1), B(1, 0), C(0, 1), D(0, 0), E(0, –1), F(–1, 0), G(0, 5), H(–7, 0), I(3, 3)

Question 8:

A point lies on the x-axis at a distance of 7 units from the y-axis. What are its coordinates? What will be the coordinates if it lies on y-axis at a distance of –7 units from x-axis?

Answer:

The given point lies in the positive direction of the x-axis.
So its y- coordinate will be zero and it is at a  distance of 7 units from the y - axis, so its coordinates are (7, 0).

If it lies in the negative direction of the y-axis, then its x-coordinate will be zero and its distance from the x-axis is 7 units, so its coordinate is (0, −7).

Question 9:

Points A(5, 3), B(–2, 3), and D(5, –4) are three vertices of a square ABCD. Plot these points on a graph paper and hence find the coordinates of the vertex C.

Answer:

Since ABCD is a square, i.e., AB = BC = CD = DA.
Therefore, the abscissa of C should be equal to the abscissa of B that is, −2, and the ordinate of C should be equal to the ordinate of D which is −4.
Hence, the coordinates of C are (−2,–4).

Question 3:

Point (–7, 0) lies on the _________ direction of  _________ axis.

Answer:


The given point is (–7, 0).

We know that, the co-ordinates of a point on the x-axis are of the form (x, 0).

If x > 0, then the point (x, 0) lies on the positive direction of the x-axis.

If x < 0, then the point (x, 0) lies on the negative direction of the x-axis.

The given point (–7, 0) is of the form (x, 0), where x < 0. Thus, the point (–7, 0) lies on the negative direction of the x-axis.

If y > 0, then the point (0, y) lies on the positive direction of the y-axis.

If y < 0, then the point (0, y) lies on the negative direction of the y-axis.

The given point (0, –3) is of the form (0, y), where y < 0. Thus, the point (0, –3) lies on the negative direction of the y-axis.

We know that, the co-ordinates of a point on the y-axis are of the form (0, y). The point (0, y) lies on the negative direction of the y-axis if y is negative.

The point lies on the y-axis so its x-coordinate is 0. Also, the point is at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of y-axis so its y-coordinate is −5. Thus, the point is (0, −5).

The point which lies on y-axis at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of y-axis has the coordinates __(0, −5)__.

Answer:


Under reflection of a point in the x-axis, the abscissa of the point remains unchanged while the sign of the ordinate is changed. So, the image of the point (x, y) in the x-axis is (x, −y).

Thus, the image of the point (–3, –2) in the x-axis is (–3, 2).

In II quadrant: x < 0, y > 0

In the point (–3, 2), abscissa is negative and ordinate is positive. So, this point lies in the second quadrant.

If a > 0 and b < 0, then the point (a, b) lies in the fourth quadrant.

The coordinates of the image of point (a, b), where a > 0 and b < 0, in the y-axis are of the form (a, b), where a < 0 and b < 0.

Now, for a < 0 and b < 0, the point (a, b) lies in the third quadrant.
