Q2 of 41 Page 63

State in which quadrant each of the following points lie without actually plotting the points.

i. (8, 15)


ii. (–15, 2)


iii. (–20, –10)


iv. (6, –9)


v. (0, 18)


vi. (–17, 0)


vii. (9, 0)


viii. (–100, –200)


ix. (200, 500)


x. (–50, 7500)

Refer this table



i. x co-ordinate = 8 and y co-ordinate = 15


both x and y are positive therefore point (8, 15) lies in the 1st quadrant


ii. x co-ordinate = -15 and y co-ordinate = 2


x co-ordinate is negative and y co-ordinate is positive therefore point (–15, 2) lies in 2nd quadrant


iii. x co-ordinate = -20 and y co-ordinate = -10


both x and y are negative therefore point (-20, -10) lies in the 3rd quadrant


iv. x co-ordinate = 6 and y co-ordinate = -9


x co-ordinate is positive and y co-ordinate is negative therefore point (6, -9) lies in 4th quadrant


v. x co-ordinate = 0 and y co-ordinate = 18


as x = 0 the point lies on Y-axis because equation of Y-axis is x = 0


therefore point (0, 18) lies on Y-axis


vi. x co-ordinate = -17 and y co-ordinate = 0


as y = 0 the point lies on X-axis because equation of X-axis is y = 0


therefore point (-17, 0) lies on X-axis


vii. x co-ordinate = 9 and y co-ordinate = 0


as y = 0 the point lies on X-axis because equation of X-axis is y = 0


therefore point (9, 0) lies on X-axis


viii. x co-ordinate = -100 and y co-ordinate = -200


both x and y are negative therefore point (-100, -200) lies in the 3rd quadrant


ix. x co-ordinate = 200 and y co-ordinate = 500


both x and y are positive therefore point (200, 500) lies in the 1st quadrant


x. x co-ordinate = -50 and y co-ordinate = 7500


x co-ordinate is negative and y co-ordinate is positive therefore point (–50, 7500) lies in 2nd quadrant
