Coordinate Geometry Quiz

The point at which the two coordinate axes meet is called the

• abscissa

• ordinate

• origin

• quadrant

Abscissa of all the points on the x-axis is

• 0

• 1

• 2

• any number

Ordinate of all points on the x-axis is

• 0

• 1

• – 1

• any number

If y coordinate of a point is zero, then this point always lies

• in I quadrant

• in II quadrant

• on x − axis

• on y − axis

Signs of the abscissa and ordinate of a point in the second quadrant are respectively

• +, +

• –, –

• –, +

• +, –

A point both of whose coordinates are negative will lie in

• I quadrant

• II quadrant

• III quadrant

• IV quadrant

Point (0, –7) lies

• on the x–axis

• in the second quadrant

• on the y−axis

• in the fourth quadrant

Point (– 10, 0) lies

• on the negative direction of the x-axis

• on the negative direction of the y-axis

• in the third quadrant

• in the fourth quadrant

The distance of the point P (2, 3) from the x-axis is

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 5

The points (–4, 0), (4, 0), (0, 3) are the vertices of a

• right triangle

• isosceles triangle

• equilateral triangle

• scalene triangle
