COORDINATE GEOMETRY
CLASS IX

1. Fill in the blanks


a. To locate the position of an object or a point in a plane, we require two perpendicular lines. One of them
is_______________, and the other is ______________.
b. The plane is called the Cartesian, or coordinate plane and the lines are called the coordinate
_________________.
c. The horizontal line is called the ________, and the vertical line is called the ______________.
d. The coordinate axes divide the plane into four parts called __________________.
e. The point of intersection of the axes is called the ____________________.
f. The distance of a point from the y - axis is called its ___________________, or abscissa, and the
distance of the point from the x-axis is called its y-coordinate, or _________________.
g. If the abscissa of a point is x and the ordinate is y, then (x, y) are called the _______________ of the
point.
h. The coordinates of a point on the x-axis are of the form (x, 0) and that of the point on the y-axis are
(0, y). So the equation of x axis is ______________ and of the y axis is ______________.
i. The coordinates of a point are of the form (+ , +) in the ________ quadrant, (–, +) in the ________
quadrant, (–, –) in the _________ quadrant and (+, –) in the _________ quadrant, where + denotes a
positive real number and – denotes a negative real number.
2. Plot the points associated with the pairs A (−2, 3), B(−3, −2), C( 2, − 4), D(−4,0), E(0, −3) and F(3,4).
3. Plot the points and check whether they are collinear or not:
a. (1,3), (−1, −1) and (−2, −3)
b. (1,2), (2, −1) and (−1,4)

c. (0,1), (2, −2) and ( , 0)

4. Three vertices of a rectangle are A(1,3), B(1, −1) and C(7, −1). Plot these points on a graph paper and hence
use it to find the coordinates of the fourth vertex. Also, find the area.
5. Find the coordinates of the points whose
32
a. abscissa is − 5
and ordinate is 5
b. ordinate is 5 and abscissa is -2
c. abscissa is −2 and lies on x-axis
3
d. ordinate is − 5 and lies on y-axis
6. Plot the following points on the same graph paper:
2 3 1 3 5 1
A(2, ), B(− , 3), C( , − ) and D((− , − )
5 2 2 2 2 2

7. Plot the points A(1, 2), B(−4, 2), C(−4, −1) and D(1, −1). What kind of quadrilateral is ABCD? Also find
its area.
8. Three vertices of a square are A(2, 3), B(−3, 3) and C( −3, −2). Plot these points on a graph paper and
hence use it to find the coordinates of the fourth vertex. Also find its area.
9. Three vertices of a parallelogram are A(−2, 2), B(6,2) and C(4, −3). Plot these points on a graph paper
and hence use it to find the coordinates of the fourth vertex D. also, find the coordinates of the midpoint of
side CD. What is the area of parallelogram?
10. An isosceles triangle OAB is formed in the first quadrant such that one vertex is at the origin and the base is

on the x axis such that OA = AB = 13 units. Find the coordinates of all the vertices.
11. Find the coordinates of the third vertex of an equilateral triangle which lies in the fourth quadrant and the

other two vertices are (1,0) and (5,0).

12. ABC is an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure. Find the coordinates of all three vertices.

13. Plot the points P(2,3), Q(−3, 3), R(−5, −1) and S(4, −1). What kind of quadrilateral is ABCD? Also find

its area.
