MCQs from CBSE Class 9 Maths Chapter 3: Coordinate Geometry
1. If the coordinates of a point are (0, -4), then it lies in:
a) X-axis
b) Y-axis
c) At origin
d) Between x-axis and y-axis
Answer
Answer: (b)
Explanation: Since, x=0 and y=-4. Hence, the point will lie in negative y-axis 4 units far from the origin.
2. If the coordinates of a point are (3, 0), then it lies in:
a) X-axis
b) Y-axis
c) At origin
d) Between x-axis and y-axis
Answer
Answer: (a)
Explanation: Since, x = 3 and y = 0, therefore, the point will lie at positive x-axis 3 units far from the origin.
3. If the coordinates of a point are (-3,4), then it lies in:
a) First quadrant
b) Second quadrant
c) Third quadrant
d) Fourth quadrant
Answer
Answer: (b)
Explanation: Since, x = -3 and y = 4, then if we plot the point in a plane, it lies in second quadrant.
4. If the coordinates of a point are (-3,-4), then it lies in:
a) First quadrant
b) Second quadrant
c) Third quadrant
d) Fourth quadrant
Answer
Answer: (c)
Explanation: Since, x = -3 and y = -4, then if we plot the point in a plane, it lies in the third quadrant.
