Instructions :
1. All questions are compulsory.
2. Questions 1 - 8 are of 1 Mark.
3. Questions 9 - 11 are of 2 Marks.
4. Questions 12 - 13 are of 3 Marks.

1. Signs of the abscissa and ordinate of a point in the second quadrant are
respectively
(a) +, + (b) –, – (c) –, + (d) +, –
3. The point at which the two coordinate axes meet is called the
(a) abscissa (b) ordinate (c) origin (d) quadrant
5. If the perpendicular distance of a point P from the x-axis is 5 units and the foot of
the perpendicular lies on the negative direction of x-axis, then the point P has
(a) x coordinate = – 5 (b) y coordinate = 5 only
(c) y coordinate = – 5 only (d) y coordinate = 5 or
–5
6. If P (– 1, 1), Q (3, – 4), R(1, –1), S(–2, –3) and T (– 4, 4) are plotted on the graph
paper, then the point(s) in the fourth quadrant are
(a) P and T (b) Q and R (c) Only S (d) P and R
9. Write whether the following statements are True or False? Justify your answer.
(i) Point (3, 0) lies in the first quadrant.
(ii) Points (1, –1) and (–1, 1) lie in the same quadrant.
(iii) The coordinates of a point whose ordinate is -1/2 and abscissa is 1 are (-1/2,1).
(iv) A point lies on the y-axis at a distance of 2 units from the x-axis. Its
coordinates are (2, 0).
10. In the given figure, LM is a line parallel to the y-axis at a distance of 3 units.
11. Plot the following points and check whether they are collinear or not :
(i) (1, 3), (– 1, – 1), (– 2, – 3)
(ii) (1, 1), (2, – 3), (– 1, – 2)
12. Points A (5, 3), B (– 2, 3) and D (5, – 4) are three vertices of a square ABCD. Plot
these points on a graph paper and hence find the coordinates of the vertex C.
13. Write the coordinates of the vertices of a rectangle whose length and breadth are
5 and 3 units respectively, one vertex at the origin, the longer side lies on the
x-axis and one of the vertices lies in the third quadrant.
