TO DETERMINE
The Location of the following points on the cartesian plane
- (0,a)
- (a,0)
- (-a, 0)
- (0,-a)
EVALUATION
Abscissa = x
Ordinate = y
Let us assume that a > 0
CHECKING FOR THE POINT (0,a)
For the point (0,a)
Abscissa = 0
Ordinate = a which is positive
So the point lies on Positive Y axis
CHECKING FOR THE POINT (a,0)
For the point (a, 0)
Abscissa = a which is positive
Ordinate = 0
So the point lies on Positive X axis
CHECKING FOR THE POINT (-a,0)
For the point (-a, 0)
Abscissa = - a which is negative
Ordinate = 0
So the point lies on Negative X axis
CHECKING FOR THE POINT (0,-a)
For the point (0,-a)
Abscissa = 0
Ordinate = - a which is negative
So the point lies on Negative Y axis
