Question:
In which quadrant or on which axis each of the following points lie?
(-3, 5), (4,-1), (2,0), (2, 2), (-3,-6)
Solution:
(i) In point (-3, 5), x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive, so it lies in
II quadrant.
(ii) In point (4,-1), x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative, so it lies in IV quadrant.
(iii) In point (2,0), x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is zero, so it lies on X-axis.
(iv) In point (2,2), x-coordinate and y-coordinate both are positive, so it lies in I quadrant.
(v) In point (-3, – 6), x-coordinate and y-coordinate both are negative, so it lies in III quadrant.
