Chapter 3: Q. 537 (page 364)

Plot each point in a rectangular coordinate system.
$(a) (2, 5)$
$(b) (- 1, - 3)$
$(c) (0, 2)$
$(d) (- 4, \frac{3}{2})$
$(e) (5, 0)$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The plot of the points on the coordinate system is shown below.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Definitions

The point that lies in quadrant I is of the form $(x, y)$ .
The point that lies in quadrant II is of the form $(- x, y)$ .
The point that lies in quadrant III is of the form $(- x, - y)$ .
The point that lies in quadrant IV is of the form $(x, - y)$ .
The point that lies on the $x -$ axis is $(x, 0)$ .
The point that lies on the $y -$ axis is $(0, y)$ .

Step 2. Explanation

(a) The point $(2, 5)$ lies in the quadrant I.

(b) The point $(- 1, - 3)$ lies in quadrant III.

(d) The point $(- 4, \frac{3}{2})$ lies in quadrant II.

(e) The point $(5, 0)$ lies on the $x -$ axis.

By using the above information plot the points on the coordinate system as shown below.
