Coordinate Geometry Test - 8

Perpendicular distance of point from x-axis is y-ordinate of given point

Distance = 6

In co-ordinate ,

We have two axis ,one is horizontal line called x-axis,

And other is vertical line called y-axis.

Used to determine the position of any point in Cartesian plane.

In Cartesian plane ,there are two axis 

One is horizontal line called x-axis,

And other is vertical line called y-axis,

Used to determine the position of point in plane.

In the Cartesian plane, there are two Axis one is x axis and other is y axis.

when the both Axis cut one another it forms four quadrant( quadrant 1,2,3and 4)

Since value of y-ordinate is zero ,so point lies on x-axis ,

But value of x is -ve so ,it lies on negative direction of x-axis

Since value of y-ordinate is zero so,point lies on x-axis

But value of x is +ve so it lies on +ve direction of x-axis

Since x=0 so point lies on y-axis,

But value of y is —ve 

So, point lies on —ve direction of y-axis

Any point P in co-ordinate plane is written as P(x,y)

when the value of x-coordinate is equal to zero then the point P lies on y axis

Since,here x=0 so,point lies on y-axis 

And the value of y is positive so,

Points lies in the positive direction of       y-axis

Abscissa of point in x axis is can be any number but ordinate will always be zero, because for any point to lie on x-axis its   y-ordinate must be equal to zero.

On y-axis, x-coordinate i.e. abscissa is 0.

Thus, abscissa of all the points on y-axis is 0.
