any point in the Cartesian plane? What is their point of intersection called? How many
parts of the co-ordinate plane are formed by these two lines and what are they called?

Q. 18 Plot the points A(−4, 8), B(−4, 2), C(6, −5) and D(6, 1) on a Cartesian plane. Join A to
B, B to C, C to D and D to A. What figure is obtained as ABCD?

Case study questions

I. Arun is participating in an 8 miles walk. The organizers used a square coordinate grid
to plot the course. The starting point is at A (3, 1). At B (3, 4), there's water station to
make sure the walkers stay hydrated. From water station, the walkway turns right and
at C (6, 4) a garden is situated to keep walkers fresh. From the garden, the walkway
turns left and finally, Arun reaches at destination D to complete 8 kilometers.
