Class 9 | Chapter 3 | Coordinate Geometry | Exercise 3.2 | Question 1 & 2

Question 1: Write the answer of each of the following questions:

  1. What is the name of horizontal and the vertical lines drawn to determine the position of any point in the Cartesian plane?
  2. What is the name of each part of the plane formed by these two lines?
  3. Write the name of the point where these two lines intersect.

Question 2: See Fig.3.14, and write the following:

  1. The coordinates of B.
  2. The coordinates of C.
  3. The point identified by the coordinates (–3,–5).
  4. The point identified by the coordinates (2, – 4).
  5. The abscissa of the point D.
  6. The ordinate of the point H.
  7. The coordinates of the point L.
  8. The coordinates of the point M.

Class 9 - Exercise 3.2 - Question 2

Concept: This video tutorial is about what a Coordinate / Cartesian / XY Plane in Coordinate Geometry is. The concept has been explained with detailed examples. It is a recommended video for class 9 students.

Concept: This video tutorial explains that x-coordinate (abscissa) of a point in a cartesian plane is also its perpendicular distance from the y-axis. Similarly y-coordinate (ordinate) of a point is equal to the perpendicular distance of the point from x-axis.

x-coordinate (abscissa)

Perpendicular distance of the point from y-axis

y-ccordinate (ordinate)

Perpendicular distance of the point from x-axis

Concept: In this video tutorial, you will learn about the basics of coordinate geometry. This is a must watch video tutorial for class 9 students. This video talks about the coordinate / cartesian plane in length with detailed examples. Different elements of coordinate plane like abscissa and ordinate are also explained with simple examples.
