Q1.

Consider the above image for the passage. One of the greatest mysteries of bird life is travelling. Every year during autumn and
early winter, birds travel from northern regions of Asia (point P), Europe and America to the southern warmer lands (point T).
They make the return journey again during spring and early summer. They are punctual unless they are delayed by bad weather.
They face many dangers and hardships while travelling long distances through the air, over hills, forests, plains and large
stretches of water. Sometimes sudden storms arise and drive them far out of course (point Q). Often they are blown right out to
sea and are drowned in the wild waves (point R). Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
1. What are the coordinates of P?
1. (1, 1)
2. (1, 0)
3. (2, 1)

2. (b) (-3, 0)
3. (b) (-2, -3)
4. (c) (4, -2)
5. (d)(-3, 0) and (-2, -3)

Q2. Plot the points A(1, -1) and B(4, 5):

1. Draw a line segment joining these points. Write the coordinates of a point on this line segment between the points A and
B.
2. Extend this line segment and write the coordinates of a point on this line which lies outside the line segment AB.
Ans:
In point A(1, -1), x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative, so it lies in IV quadrant. In point B(4, 5), both coordinates are
positive, so it lies in I quadrant. On plotting these point, we get the following graph.
 1. On joining the points A and B, we get the line segment AB. Now, to find the coordinates of a point on this line segment between A
and B draw a perpendicular to X-axis from x = 2 and 3. [since, x = 2 and 3 lies between A and B] say it intersect line segment AB at
P and p’. Now, draw a perpendicular to Y-axis from P and p’, they intersect Y axis at y = 1 and 3, respectively. Thus, we get points
(2,1) and (3, 3) which lie between line segment AB.
2. Extent the line segment AB. Now, draw a perpendicular to X-axis from x = 5, say it intersects extended line segment at Q. Again,
draw a perpendicular to Y-axis from Q and it intersects Y-axis at y = 7. Thus, we get the point Q(5,7) which lies outside the line
segment AB.
Q3. Write down the coordinates of each of the following points A, B, C, D, and E.

Ans:
Draw the perpendiculars from the AF, BG, CH, DI and EJ on the x-axis.
1. The distance of A from the y-axis = OF = -6 units
The distance of A from the x-axis = AF = 5 units
Hence, the coordinate of A are (-6, 5)
2. The distance of B from the y-axis = OG = 5 units
The distance of B from the x-axis = BG = 4 units
Hence, the coordinate of B are (5, 4)
3. The distance of C from the y-axis = OH = -3 units
The distance of C from the x-axis = HC = 2 units
Hence, the coordinate of C are (-3, 2)
4. The distance of D from the y-axis = OI = 2 units
The distance of D from the x-axis = ID = -2 units
Hence, the coordinate of D are (2, -2)
5. The distance of E from the y-axis = OJ = -1 unit
The distance of E from the x-axis = JE = -4 units
Hence, the coordinate of E are (-1, -4)
Thus, the coordinates of A, B, C, D and E are respectively, A(-6, 5), B(5, 4), C(-3, 2), D(2, -2) and E(-1, -4)

2. Write the points whose ordinate is 0
3. Write the points whose abscissa is -5
Ans:
1. Clearly, the distance of points A, L and O from y-axis is 0. So, A(0, 3), L(0, -4) and O(0, 0) are the points whose abscissa is 0.
2. Clearly, the distance of points G, I and O from x-axis is 0. So, G(5, 0), I(-2, 0) and O(0, 0) are the points whose ordinate is 0.
3. Clearly, the distance of points H and D from y-axis is 5 units and both lien in second and third quadrants respectively. So, (-5, -3)
and D(-5, 1) are the points whose abscissa is -5.

(1, 1), (2, -3), (-1, -2)
Ans:
Plotting the points P (1,1), 0 (2, -3) and R (-1, -2) on the graph paper and join these three points, we get three lines i.e., the given
points do not lie on the same line. So, given points are not collinear.

+ (0 − 3)
2
(by distance formula)
= √16 + 9

= √25

= 5

1. Same quadrant.
2. II and III quadrants respectively.
3. IV and II quadrants respectively.
4. II and IV quadrants respectively.

1. Lie in IV quadrant.
2. Do not lie in the same quadrant.
3. Lie in III quadrant.
4. Lie in II quadrant.
Ans:
2. Do not lie in the same quadrant.
Solution:
In points (1, -1), (2, -2) and (4, -5) x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative, So, they all lie in IV quadrant.
In point (-3, -4) x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is negative. So, it lies in III quadrant.
So, given points do not lie in the same quadrant.

1. 120
2. 124
3. 142
4. 140
Ans:
3. 142
Solution:
If x - 1 is a factor of p(x), then
p(1) = 0
(1)3 - 23 (1)2 + k(1) - 120 = 0
1 - 23 + k - 120 = 0
1 - 143 + k = 0
-142 + k = 0
k = 142

2. (0, -7)
3. (-7, 5)
4. (0, 0)
Ans:
2. (0, -7)
Solution:

So point M lies on the y-axis, and for any point on y-axis always the value of x = 0.
So, Co-ordinate of M = (0, -7).

Q21. In Figure, coordinates of P are.

1. (-4, 2)
2. (-2, 4)
3. (4, -2)
4. (2, -4)
Ans:
2. (-2, 4)
Solution:
Here, given point P lies in II quadrant, so its abscissa will be negative and ordinate wilt be positive. Also, its perpendicular distance
from X-axis is 4, so y-coordinate of P is 4 and its perpendicular distance from Y-axis is 2, so x-coordinate is -2. Hence, coordinates of P
are (-2, 4).

Q22. Write the correct answer in the following:

If P(-1, 1), Q(3, -4), R(1, -1), S(-2, -3) and T(-4, 4) are plotted on the graph paper, then the point(s) in the fourth quadrant are:

1. 5 units
 2. 13 units
3. 3 units
4. 2 units
Ans:

The distance from y-axis is equal to the x-coordinate, so distance = 2 units

Q32. Write the correct answer in the following:

The point which lies on y-axis at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of y-axis is:
1. (0, 5)
2. (5, 0)
3. (0, -5)
4. (-5, 0)
Ans:
3. (0, -5)
Solution:
Given the point lies on Y-axis this shows that this x-coordinate is zero. Also it is at a distance of 5 units in negative direction of Y-axis,
so its y–coordinate is negative. Hence, the required point is (0, -5).
Q33. The point (0, 9) lies.
1. On the positive direction of y-axis
2. In quadrant III
3. On the positive direction of x-axis
4. In quadrant IV
Ans:
1. On the positive direction of y-axis
Solution:
Any point Pin co-ordinate plane is written as P(x, y)
When the value of x-coordinate is equal to zero then the point Plies on y axis.
Since,here x = 0 so,point lies on y-axis
And the value of y is positive so,
Points lies in the positive direction of y-axis

Q34. The co-ordinates of a point below the x-axis lying on y-axis at a distance of 4 units are.
1. (0, 4)
2. (4, 0)
3. (-4, 0)
4. (0, -4)
Ans:
4. (0, -4)
Solution:
Since, it lies on the y-axis so abscissa = 0
And since it lies 4 unit below x-axis so the value of ordinate = -4.
Thus, point will be (0, -4)

Q35. A point of the form (0, b) lies on:

1. Quadrant I
2. x- axis
3. y- axis
4. Quadrant III
Ans:
3. y- axis
Solution:
Let P be any point whose co-ordinate be P(0, b)
Then, if the value of x-coordinate or abscissa is zero then the point P lies in y-axis.

3. In first quadrant.
4. In second quadrant.
Ans:
1. On x-axis
Solution:
In (-4, 0) and (7, 0),
measure of ordinate = 0
That means, intercept on Y-axis = 0
So, points lies on X-axis.

1. 0º
2. 90º
3. 180º
4. 360º
Ans:
2. 90º

Solution:
If (x, y) = (y, x),
It means abscissa =ordinate or, x = y
So, X - Y = 0 {since x = y}

Q39. Which of the following points lies on the line y = 2x + 3?

1. (2, 8)
2. (3, 9)
3. (4, 12)
4. (5, 15)
Ans:
2. (3, 9)
Solution:
For the point to lie on the line y = 2x + 3, it has to satisfy the equation of the line.
Putting x = 2, in y = 2x + 3, we get y = 2(2) + 3 ⇒ y = 7
But y = 8.
So, the point does not satisfy the equation and hence does not lie on the given line.
Putting x = 3, in y = 2x + 3, we get y = 2(3) + 3 ⇒ y = 9
So, the point satisfies the equation and hence lies on the given line.
Putting x = 4, in y = 2x + 3, we get y = 2(4) + 3 ⇒ y = 11
But y = 12.
So, the point does not satisfy the equation and hence does not lie on the given line.
Putting x = 5, in y = 2x + 3, we get y = 2(5) + 3 ⇒ y = 13
But y = 15.
So, the point does not satisfy the equation and hence does not lie on the given line.
