Q1 of 15 Page 176

Let's plot the points A (4,0), B (0,6), C (2,5), D (7,1), E ([], 5) and F ([],5) on a graph sheet.

In a graph the horizontal line is x-axis and the vertical line is y-axis, and the point of intersection of x and y-axis is the origin (0,0).

So, at any point the first number if x-coordinate and the second number is y-coordinate.


For A (4,0) move 4 unit in the x-direction and 0 unit in the y-direction, means the point A is on the x-axis.


For B (0,6) move 0 unit in the x-direction and 6 unit in the y-direction, means the point B is on the y-axis.


For C (2,5) move 2 unit in the x-direction and 5 unit in the y-direction.


For D (7,1) move 7 unit in the x-direction and 1 unit in the y-direction.


For E ([], 5) move 5 unit in the y-direction, so this will be a point on the line y=5, i.e., parallel to the x-axis. So let it be E(1,5).


Similarly, for E ([], 5) move 5 unit in the y-direction, so this point will also be on the line y=5, i.e., parallel to the x-axis. So let it be F(5,5)


So the graph of the given points is as shown below.
