From the Fig. 3.8, answer the following : Write the points whose abscissa is 0

Solution:

Given, the figure represents the coordinates of certain points

We have to find the points whose abscissa is zero.

The horizontal coordinate of a point in a plane cartesian coordinate system obtained by measuring parallel to the x-axis is called the abscissa of the point.

Abscissa is zero implies the x-coordinate is zero.

From the figure,

The points with x-coordinate zero are

A(0, 3)

L(0, -4)

O(0, 0)

Therefore, the points whose abscissa is zero are A, L and O.

Summary:

Abscissa or the x-coordinate of a point is its distance from the y-axis and the ordinate or the y-coordinate is its distance from the x-axis.The points whose abscissa is zero are A(0, 3), L(0, -4) and O(0, 0)
