Let us plot the following points on the graph paper and write their positions (on the axes or in quadrant).

(i) (3, 0) (ii) (0, 8)


(iii) (–5, 0) (iv) (0, –6)


(v) (6, 4) (vi) (–7, 4)


(vii) (9, –9) (viii) (–4, –5)

Key Points -


● (x,y) = (abscissa, ordinate)


● Parallel lines No Solution.


● One Intersection point only one Solution


● Infinite Intersection point Infinite solutions



X coordinate is called abscissa and y coordinate is called ordinate.


To plot all these points, we need to find the value of abscissa on the x axis and ordinate on y


axis.



From the graph, we can clearly see the position of points as :


(i) (3, 0): On X - axis


(ii) (0, 8): On Y - axis


(iii) (–5, 0): On X - axis


(iv) (0, –6): On Y - axis


(v) (6, 4): In First Quadrant


(vi) (–7, 4): In second Quadrant


(vii) (9, –9): In IV quadrant


(viii) (–4, –5): In third quadrant
