#### Question 6:

Plot the points A(2, 5), B(–2, 2) and C(4, 2) on a graph paper. Join AB, BC and AC. Calculate the area of ∆ABC.

Abscissa of D = Abscissa of A = 2
Ordinate of D = Ordinate of B = 2

Now,
BC = (2 + 4) units = 6 units
AD = (5 – 2) units = 3 units

Hence, area of ∆ABC is 9 square units.

#### Question 7:

Three vertices of a rectangle ABCD are A(3, 1), B(–3, 1) and C(–3, 3). Plot these points on a graph paper and find the coordinates of the fourth vertex D. Also, find the area of rectangle ABCD.

Let A(3, 1), B(–3, 1) and C(–3, 3) be three vertices of a rectangle ABCD.

Let the y-axis cut the rectangle ABCD at the points P and Q respectively.

Abscissa of D = Abscissa of A = 3.
Ordinate of D = Ordinate of C = 3.

∴ coordinates of D are (3, 3).

AB = (BP + PA) = (3 + 3) units = 6 units.
BC = (OQOP) = (3 – 1) units = 2 units.

Ar(rectangle ABCD) = (AB × BC)
= (6 × 2) sq. units
= 12 sq. units

Hence, the area of rectangle ABCD is 12 square units.

If abscissa = ordinate, there could be two possibilities.
Either both are positive or both are negative. So, a point could be either (+,+), which lie in quadrant I or it could be of the type (-,-), which lie in quadrant III.
Hence, the points (other then the origin) for which the abscissas are equal to the ordinates lie in quadrant I or III.

#### Question 12:

If the y-coordinate of a point is zero then this point always lies
(a) on the y-axis
(b) on the x-axis

The coordinates of a point on the x-axis are of the form (x, 0) and that of the point on the y-axis is of the form (0, y).

Thus, if the y-coordinate of a point is zero, then this point always lies on the x-axis.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

(a) –2
(b) 1
(c) –1
(d) 2

The given points are A(–2, 3) and B(–3, 5).

Abscissa of A = x-coordinate of A = –2

Abscissa of B = x-coordinate of B = –3

∴ Abscissa of A – Abscissa of B = –2 – (–3) = –2 + 3 = 1

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

#### Question 15:

The perpendicular distance of the point A(3, 4) from the y-axis is
(a) 3
(b) 4
(c) 5
(d) 7

The perpendicular distance of a point from the y-axis is equal to the x-coordinate of the point.

∴ Perpendicular distance of the point A(3, 4) from the y-axis = x-coordinate of A(3, 4) = 3

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

#### Question 16:

Abscissa of a point is positive in

​Explanation:
If abscissa of a point is positive, then the ordinate could be either positive or negative.
It means that the type of any point can be either (+,+) or (+, -).
Points of the type (+,+) lie in quadrant I, whereas points of the type (+,-) lie in quadrant IV.

#### Question 17:

The point whose ordinate is 3 and which lies on the y-axis is
(a) (3, 0)
(b) (0, 3)
(c) (3, 3)
(d) (1, 3)

The ordinate of a point is the y-coordinate of the point. So, the y-coordinate of the point is 3.

Also, any point on the y-axis has coordinates in the form (0, y).

Thus, the point whose ordinate is 3 and which lies on the y-axis is (0, 3).

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

(b) (3,9)

Explanation:
Point (2,8) does not satisfy the equation y = 2x + 3.              (​∵ y = 2 × 2 + 8 = 12$\ne$ 8)
Point (3,9) satisfy the equation y = 2x + 3.                             (​∵ y =2 × 3 + 3 = 9)
Point (4,12) does not satisfy the equation y = 2x + 3.    (∵ y = 2 × 4 + 3 = 11$\ne$ 12)
Point (5,15) does not satisfy the equation y = 2x +3.    (∵ y= 2 × 5 + 3 = 13$\ne$15)
Hence, the point (3,9) lies on the line ​y = 2x +3.

#### Question 20:

(b) Point (2,10) satisfy the equation y = 3x + 4.                    (∵y = 3 × 2 + 4 = 10)
(c) Point (-1,1) satisfy the equation y = 3x + 4.                     (∵y = 3 × -1 + 4 = 1)
(d) Point (4,12) does not satisfy the equation y = 3x + 4.    (∵ y = 3 × 4 + 4 = 16 ≠ 12)
Hence, the point (4,12) do not lie on the line y = 3x +4.

The point (–3, 4) lies in the second quadrant.

The point (5, 7) lies in the first quadrant.

The point (0, 3) lies on the positive direction of y-axis.

Thus, the point (0, 3) does not lie in any quadrant.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

(a) 12 sq units
(b) 36 sq units
(c) 18 sq units
(d) 24 sq units

The points A(0, 6), O(0, 0) and B(6, 0) can be plotted on the Cartesian plane as follows:

Here, ∆AOB is a right triangle right angled at O.

OA = 6 units and OB = 6 units

∴ Area of ∆AOB = $\frac{1}{2}×\mathrm{OA}×\mathrm{OB}=\frac{1}{2}×6×6$ = 18 square units

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
