NCERT Solutions Class 9th Maths Chapter – 3 Coordinate Geometry Examples

Solution – (i) Since the distance of the point B from the y – axis is 4 units, the x – coordinate or abscissa of the point B is 4. The distance of the point B from the x – axis is 3 units; therefore, the y – coordinate, i.e., the ordinate, of the point B is 3.
Hence, the coordinates of the point B are (4, 3).
As in (i) above –
(ii) The x – coordinate and the y – coordinate of the point M are –3 and 4, respectively. Hence, the coordinates of the point M are (–3, 4).
(iii) The x – coordinate and the y – coordinate of the point L are –5 and – 4, respectively. Hence, the coordinates of the point L are (–5, – 4).
(iv) The x – coordinate and the y- coordinate of the point S are 3 and – 4, respectively. Hence, the coordinates of the point S are (3, – 4).

Solution – You can see that :
(i) The point A is at a distance of + 4 units from the y – axis and at a distance zero from the x – axis. Therefore, the
x – coordinate of A is 4 and the
y – coordinate is 0. Hence, the
coordinates of A are (4, 0).
(ii) The coordinates of B are (0, 3). Why?
(iii) The coordinates of C are (– 5, 0).Why?
(iv) The coordinates of D are (0, – 4). Why?
(v) The coordinates of E are (2/3, 0) Why?
