If x is positive and y is negative, then the point (x, y) lies in

• III quadrant 
• IV quadrant
• II quadrant
• I quadrant

The perpendicular distance of a point from the x-axis is 2 units and the perpendicular distance from the y-axis is 3 units. Write the coordinates of the point if it lies in the:

(i) I quadrant    (ii) II quadrant
(iii)    III quadrant    (iv) IV quadrant

Find the co-ordinates of a point:

(i)    whose ordinate is 6 and lies on y-axis.
(ii)    whose abscissa is -3 and lies on x-axis.

In which quadrant, can a point have:
(i)      abscissa equal to its ordinate
(ii)     ordinate equal in magnitude to abscissa
(iii)    ordinate equal and opposite of abscissa
(iv)    abscissa twice that of the ordinate.

See figure and complete the following statements:

(i)    The abscissa and the ordinate of the point B are _ _ _ and _ _ _, respectively. Hence the coordinates of B are (_ _, _ _).
(ii)    The x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the point M are _ _ _ and _ _ _, respectively. Hence the coordinates of M are (_ _ _, _ _ _).
(iii)    The x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the point L are _ _ _ and _ _ _, respectively. Hence the coordinates of L are (_ _, _ _).
(iv)    The x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the point S are _ _ _ and _ _ _, respectively. Hence the coordinates of S are (_ _, _ _).
