Question

Write the coordinates of a point whose ordinate is half its abscissa and lies 6 units to the left of origin.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(-6,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

it lies in 3rd quadrant

Answer 2

Concept:

The x coordinate of a point on an x-y plane is called the abscissa.

The y coordinate of a point in an x-y plane is called the ordinate.

Ordinate and Abscissa are on the same plane.

Given:

Ordinate is given half its Abscissa of the point.

The point lies 6 units to the left of origin in the x-y plane.

Find:

We have to find out the coordinates of the plane. In simple words we have to find the Ordinate and Abscissa of the point.

Solution:

As the point lies 6 units to the left of origin in the x-y plane

The Abscissa of the point will be -6.

As Ordinate is given half its Abscissa of the point

Ordinate = Abscissa/2

Ordinate = -6/2

Ordinate = -3

Hence the Abscissa of the point is -6 and the Ordinate of the point is -3.
