Solutions:

Section - A

1. The point (-3,10) lies in the second quadrant.

2. Any point on the y axis will have the general form (0.y) i.e, x coordinate of that
point is always zero.

3. The point P(3,0) does not lie on any quadrant as its y coordinate is zero and
hence t lies on the x axis

4. In general for any point (x,y) the x coordinate is called abscissa and the y
coordinate is called ordinate so in (8,12) 8 is the abscissa and 12 is the ordinate.

5. In general for any point (x,y) the distance it from the x axis is equal to y
coordinate hence distance of (3,5) from the x axis is 5 units.

Section - B

1. a)The horizontal line that is drawn to determine the position of any point in the
Cartesian plane is called as x-axis.
The vertical line that is drawn to determine the position of any point in the
Cartesian plane is called as y-axis.

b)The name of each part of the plane that is formed by the x-axis and y-axis is
called quadrant.

2. Representation of given points in the quadrant system

From the figure,

we can conclude that
(– 2, 4) lies in the 2nd quadrant.
(3, – 1) lies in the 1st quadrant .
(–1, 0) lies on the x-axis.
(1, 2) lies in the 1stquadrant.
(– 3, – 5) lies in the 3rdquadrant

3. Given that points A(2,0), B(6,0)and C(4,6) form a triangle which is shown in the
figure below.
To find the area of the triangle ΔABC.
 Class 9 Coordinate Geometry Mathematics

Given that OA= 2cm OB= 6cm hence AB= OB-OA= 6-2 =4cm and CD = 6cm .

4. The point(4,3) is shown in the graph given below:

In triangle OAP which is right angled triangle where OA = 4cm AP =3cm.

Since triangle OAP is right angled at AB using Pythagoras Theorem
we get OP=√ ❑=√ ❑=√ ❑=√ ❑= 5cm. Thus the
distance of the point(4,3)from the origin is 5 units

5. a)Here for the given point the abscissa is 4 units and ordinate is -3 units.
The point is in the fourth quadrant. So it will look like as shown in the following

Section - C

1. a)The mirror image of point (2, 3) is (2, -3) with respect to the x-axis.
The mirror image of (-4, -6) is (-4,6) with respect to the x-axis.
b)The points in a plane which do not belong to any one of the quadrants
are (0, 0) and it is called the origin of the cartesian system

2. Let us consider the given below figure of a study stable, on which a study lamp is
placed.
 Class 9 Coordinate Geometry Mathematics

Let us consider the lamp on the table as a point and the table as a plane. From
the figure, we can conclude that the table is rectangular in shape, when observed
from the top. The table has a short edge and a long edge.

Let us measure the distance of the lamp from the shorter edge and the longer
edge. Let us assume that the distance of the lamp from the shorter edge is 15 cm
and from the longer edge, its 25 cm.

Therefore, we can conclude that the position of the lamp on the table can be
described in two ways depending on the order of the axes
as(15,25) or(25,15)

3. On joining the given pointsA(2,0) B(2,2) ,C(0,2) and the origin

we get the following figure which is a square

axis and y axis. Therefore, we can conclude that the coordinates of point B are
(―5, 2).
b) The coordinates of point C in the above figure is the distance of point C from
 Class 9 Coordinate Geometry Mathematics

x-axis and y axis. Therefore, we can conclude that the coordinates of point C
are (5, ―5).

d) The point that represents the coordinates (2, -4) is G.

5. a)The abscissa of point D in the above figure is the distance of point D from the
y-axis.Therefore, we can conclude that the abscissa of point D is 6.
b) The ordinate of point H in the above figure is the distance of point H from the
x-axis. Therefore, we can conclude that the abscissa of point H is ―3.
c)The coordinates of point L in the above figure is the distance of point L from x-
axis and y-axis. Therefore, we can conclude that the coordinates of point L are
(0, 5).
d)The coordinates of point M in the above figure is the distance of point M from x-
axis and y-axis. Therefore, we can conclude that the coordinates of point M are
(―3, 0).
