1. On the plane of a graph paper draw X’OX and YOY’ as coordinate axes and plot each of the
following points.
(i) A (5, 3)
(ii) B (6, 2)
(iii) C (-5, 3)
(iv) D (4, -6)
(v) E (-3, -2)
(vi) F (-4, 4)
(vii) G (3, -4)
(viii) H (5, 0)
(ix) I (0, 6)
A
(x) J (-3, 0)
(xi) K (0, -2)
(xii) O (0, 0)
Solution:

2. Write down the coordinates of each of the following points A, B, C, D and E.
From the coordinates draw perpendiculars on x-axis namely AF, BG, CH, DI and EJ
For point A
Distance from y-axis = OF = -6 units
Distance from x-axis = AF = 5 units
Therefore, the coordinates of point A are (-6, 5)
L
For point B
Distance from y-axis = OG = 5 units
Distance from x-axis = BG = 4 units
Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (5, 4)
For point C
Distance from y-axis = OH = -3 units
Distance from x-axis = HC = 2 units
Therefore, the coordinates of point C are (-3, 2)
Q
For point D
Distance from y-axis = OI = 2 units
Distance from x-axis = ID = -2 units
Therefore, the coordinates of point D are (2, -2)
For point E
Distance from y-axis = OJ = -1 unit
Distance from x-axis = JE = -4 units
Therefore, the coordinates of point E are (-1, - 4)
3. For each of the following points, write the quadrant in which it lies.
(i) (-6, 3)
(ii) (-5, -3)
(iii) (11, 6)
A
Therefore, (-5, -3) lies in the III quadrant.
(i) Since the point (2, 0) is of the form (x, 0) it lies on the x-axis.
(ii) Since the point (0, -5) is of the form (0, y) it lies on the y-axis.
(iv) Since the point (0, -1) is of the form (0, y) it lies on the y-axis.
A
Solution:
The points which lie on the x-axis are of the form (x, 0)
Therefore, the points which lie on the x-axis are B (4, 0), D (-6, 0) and G (-1, 0).
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.
Solution:

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