Without plotting the points indicate the quadrant in which they lie, if : (i) ordinate is 5 and abscissa is – 3 (ii) abscissa is -5 and ordinate is – 3 (iii) abscissa is – 5 and ordinate is 3 (iv) ordinate is 5 and abscissa is 3
Solution: (i) Clearly, point (-3, 5) lies in 2nd quadrant. (ii) Clearly, point (-5, – 3) lies in 3rd quadrant. (ii) Clearly, point (-5, 3) lies in 2nd quadrant. (iv) Clearly, point (3, 5) lies in 1st quadrant.
