8. Write the Co-ordinates of a point which lies on y-axis and is at a distance of 3units
above x-axis. Represent on the graph.
13. In which quadrant or on which axis do each of the points (-2, 4), (2, -1), (-1, 0), (1, 2)
and (-3, -5) lie? Verify your answer by locating them on the Cartesian plane.
14. Draw the graphs of the equations : 3x – 2y = 4 and x + y – 3 = 0 in the same graph and
find the co-ordinates of the point where two lines intersect.
15. (Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the
city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction. All
the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are
5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your
notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines. There are many cross- streets in
your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the
North-South direction and another in the East-West direction. Each cross street is
referred to in the following manner: If the 2nd street running in the North-South
direction and 5th in the East-West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call
this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
Solution
1. (a) (0, 0)
Explanation:
The center of the coordinate system (where the lines intersect) is called the origin.
The axes intersect when both x and y are zero.
The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).
3. (c) abscissa
Explanation:
4. (a) x = 0
Explanation:
5. (b) II Quadrant
Explanation:
Here,x < 0 (i.e —ve) and y > 0, (i.e, +ve)

axis is (0, 3).

11. The co- ordinates of vertices of rectangle A (2, 2), B (-2, 2), C (-2, -2) and D (2, -2). it is a
square.
x 0 2 4
y -2 1 4
Now, plot the points (0, -2), (2, 1) and (4, 4) on a graph paper and join them by a line.
Graph of the equation x + y - 3 = 0
x+y-3=0
y = -x + 3
Let x = 0 : y = -0 + 3 = 3
Let x = 1 : y = -1 + 3 = 2
Let x = -1 : y = - (-1) + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4
Thus, we have the following table :
x 0 1 -1
y 3 2 4
By plotting the points (0, 3), (1, 2) and (-1, 4) on the graph paper and joining them by a
line, we obtain the graph of x + y - 3 = 0
The lines represented by the equations 3x - 2y = 4 and x + y - 3 = 0 intersect at point A
whose co-ordinates are (2, 1).
15. We need to draw two perpendicular lines as the two main roads of the city that cross
each other at the center and let us mark it as N-S and E-W. Let us take the scale as 1
cm = 200m. We need to draw five streets that are parallel to both the main roads, to
get the given below figure.
i. From the figure, we can conclude that only one point have the coordinates as (4,
3).
Therefore, we can conclude that only one cross - street can be referred to as (4, 3).
ii. From the figure, we can conclude that only one point have the coordinates as (3,4).
Therefore, we can conclude that only one cross - street can be referred to as (3, 4).
