Q3 of 26 Page 93

Draw the co-ordinate system on a plane and plot the following points.

L(-2, 4), M(5, 6), N(-3, -4), P(2, -3), Q(6, -5), S(7, 0), T(0, -5)

The graph is shown below:



Steps for plotting the points:


• Draw X-axis and Y-axis on the plane.


• To find the point M(5,6) draw a line parallel to the Y-axis through the point on X axis which represents the number 5. Through the point on Y-axis which represents the number 6 draw a line parallel to the X-axis .


• The point of intersection of these two lines parallel to the Y and X-axis respectively, is the point M(5,6).


• In the same way, plot the point Q (6,-5),P(2,-3),L(-2,4) and N(-3,-4).


• and the point S(7,0) is lies on X-axis and the point T(0,-5) lies on Y-axis.
