At what point do the coordinate axes meet?

In which quadrant does the point B(–3, –5) lie?

What is the perpendicular distance of the point P(–2, –3) from the y-axis?

For each of the following write true or false:

(i) The point lies in quadrant I.

(ii) The ordinate of a point is -3 and its abscissa is -4. The point is

(iii) The points and both lie in quadrant IV.

(iv) A point lies on y-axis at a distance of 3 units from x-axis. Its coordinates are (3, 0).

(v) The point lies on y-axis.

(vi) The point lies on x-axis as well as y-axis.

Taking a suitable scale, plot the following points on a graph paper:
