The coordinates of a point whose ordinate is -1/2 and abscissa is 1 are -1/2, 1. Is the following statement true or false? Justify your answer

Solution:

Consider (x, y) as the cartesian coordinates

In the two dimensional plane, the ordered pairs are known as the abscissa and ordinate

In an ordered pair, the first number is the abscissa. In other words, the x value in the ordered pair is the abscissa. It is the perpendicular distance of any point from the y-axis.

The second number in an ordered pair is ordinate. It is the y value in the ordered pair. It is the perpendicular distance of any point from the x-axis.

So the coordinates of a point whose ordinate is -1/2 and abscissa is 1 are 1, -1/2.

Therefore, the statement is false.
