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
