Plot the point P(2, -6) on graph paper and from it draw PM and PN as perpendiculars to x-axis and y-axis respectively. Write the coordinates of the points M and N.

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.
