Draw the co-ordinate system on a plane and plot the following points.



In the given figure, is a rhombus whose diagonal and are along coordinate axis and units and units. Now, if is a point which is spaces right and spaces above . Find
(i) Sum of abscissae of and
(ii) sum of ordinates of and
(i) | (ii) | |
---|---|---|
(A) | -1 | 2 |
(B) | 1 | -2 |
(C) | 1 | 2 |
(D) | -1 | -2 |

The difference between ordinates of and is

Some points are shown in the figure:
With the help of it answer the following question:
Which are the points whose and co-ordinates are equal?


Plot the point given in the following table on the plane, choosing suitable units of distance on the axis.





On a graph paper plot the points , , . Join and . What is the figure formed?

(i) Origin is the only point which lies on both the axes.
(ii) the point and point lies in the same quadrant.
(iii) A point lies on -axis at a distance units from -axes then it’s coordinates are .
(iv) Abscissa of a point is positive in I quadrant and also in II quadrant.
(i) | (ii) | (iii) | (iv) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
(A) | F | T | F | T |
(B) | T | F | F | F |
(C) | F | T | T | F |
(D) | T | F | T | F |

Without plotting the points on a graph, state in which quadrant or on which axis do lie.

On a graph paper, plot the points , and . If those points are collinear then draw the line which includes them. Write the co-ordinates of the points at which the line intersects the and the .

See the given figure, and find the coordinates of
