Plot the coordinates of the point:
(a) whose co-ordinate is -5 and which lies on y axis.
(b) Which lies on x and y-axis both.
(c) whose abscissa is 3 and which lies on x-axis in cartasian plance.​


Sagot :

Answer:

First, a regular point is written as a coordinate pair (x, y).

If the point lies on the x-axis, then we have y = 0

if the point lies on the y-axis, then x = 0

And x is the abscissa, y is the ordinate.

The points will be graphed at the end.

a)

Ordinate = -5, then y = -5

and it ies on the y-axis, then x = 0

So this point is represented by A = (0, -5)

b)

Lies on the y-axis and in the x-axis, then x = 0 and y = 0, so the point is represented by B = (0, 0)

c)

The abscissa is 3, so x = 3, and the point lies on the x-axis, so y = 0

Then this point is represented by C = (3, 0)

The graph with the 3 points are:
