Question

What will be the position of point P(3,2) if :
(i) Ordinate is multiplied by (-1)
(ii) abscissa is multiplied by (-2)
(iii) abscissa and ordinate both are added to (-5)​

Answer 1

Answer:

(3,-2)

(-6,-2)

(-2,-3)

Answer 2

The position of the point P(3,2) at condition (i) will be (3,-2), (ii) (-6,2) and (iii) (-2,-3).

• The x-coordinate of a point is called abscissa and the y-coordinate is called ordinate. The point P is denoted as P ( abscissa, ordinate ).
• Now, when the ordinate is multiplied by (-1) it becomes (3, -2), when the abscissa is multiplied by (-2) it becomes (-6,2)
• Now, when the abscissa and ordinate both are added to (-5) the point P(3,2), the point becomes (-2,-3).
