Question 1.
Plot the following points on the Cartesian plane whose x, y co-ordinates are given.
Solution
Question 2.
Are the positions of (5, -8) and (-8, 5) Is same ? JustIfy your answer.
Solution:
The positions of (5, -8) and (-8, 5) are not same. They are two distinct points. (5, -8) lies at a distance of 5 units from Y – axis and 8 units from X – axis on down side of the origin. So it lies in Q4. Where as (- 8, 5) lies in Q2. The point is at a distance of 8 units from Y – axis on left side of the origin and 5 units from X – axis.
Question 3.
What can you say about the position of the points (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, – 4), (1, 0) and (1, 8), Locate on a graph sheet.
Solution:
All the given points lie on a line parallel to Y-axis at a distance of 1 cm.
Question 4.
What can you say about the position of the points (5, 4), (8, 4), (3, 4), (0, 4), (-4, 4), (-2,4)? Locate the points on a graph sheet and justify your answer.
Solution:
The points (5, 4), (8, 4), (3, 4), (0, 4), (- 4, 4) and (- 2, 4) all lie on a line parallel to X-axis at a distance of 4-units from it.
Question 5.
Plot the points (0, 3), (4, 3), (3, 4) (4, 0) in graph sheet. Join the points with straight lines to make a rectangle. Find the area of the rectangle.
Solution:
From the graph, area of the rectangle =12 square units (OR)
Length = 4 units ; breadth = 3 units
A = l/b = 4 × 3 = 12 sq. units.
Question 6.
Plot the points (2, 3), (6, 3) and (4, 7) in a graph sheet. Join them to make it a triangle. Find the area of the triangle.
Solution:
From the graph
Base of the triangle = 4 units
Height of the triangle = 4 units
∴ Area of the triangle = 1/2 × base × height = 1/2 × 4 × 4 = 8sq. units.
