8. What is the name of horizontal and vertical lines drawn to determine the
position of any point in the Cartesian plane?
Ans: The horizontal line is called x –axis and the name of vertical line is y – axis.
Ans: The points in a plane which do not belong to any one of the quadrants is
origin which is denoted by O (0,0).

1. How will you describe the position of a table lamp on your study table to
another person?
Ans:
Consider the lamp on the table as a point and the table as a plane.
Choose one of the corners as the Origin-O (0,0). Measure the distance of the lamp
from the shorter edge and the longer edge. Let us assume that the distance of the
lamp from the shorter edge is 2.5m and from the longer edge, its 2m.
Therefore, we can conclude that the position of the lamp on the table can be
described in two ways depending on the order of the axes as (2.5,2).
(i) What is the name of horizontal and the vertical lines drawn to determine
the position of any point in the Cartesian plane?
Ans: The horizontal line that is drawn to determine the position of any point in the
Cartesian plane is named as x-axis and the vertical line is called the y-axis.
(ii) What is the name of each part of the plane formed by these two lines?
Ans: The name of each part of the plane that is formed by x-axis and y-axis is
called as quadrant.
Ans: The point, where the x-axis and the y-axis intersect is called as origin denoted
by O (0,0).
3. In which quadrant or on which axis do each of the points (– 2, 4), (3, – 1),

Ans:
5. Locate the points (5, 0), (0, 5), (2, 5), (5, 2), (-3, 5), (-3, -5) and (6, 1) in the

Ans:
Ans: Mirror images of A (3, 0), B (-2, 1) and C (2, 1) about the x-axis are A’ (3,
0), B’(-2,-1), C’(2,-1) respectively.
