Chapter 3: Coordinate Geometry — Online MCQ Test

Q: What is the name of the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect?

Answer: A. Origin — The x-axis and y-axis meet at the origin, which is represented by (0, 0).

Q: What are the coordinates of the origin?

Answer: B. (0, 0) — The origin is the point where both axes intersect, so its coordinates are (0, 0).

Q: In the ordered pair (x, y), what does the x-coordinate represent?

Answer: B. Distance left or right of the y-axis — The x-coordinate tells the horizontal position of a point, measured from the y-axis.

Q: A point M is 5 units to the left of the y-axis and 3 units above the x-axis. What are its coordinates?

Answer: B. (-5, 3) — Left of the y-axis means x is negative, and above the x-axis means y is positive.

Q: Which of the following points lies in the first quadrant and is equidistant from both axes?

Answer: A. (2, 2) — A point equidistant from both axes has equal absolute values of x and y. In the first quadrant, both coordinates must be positive.

Chapter 3: Coordinate Geometry — Important Questions & Answers (FAQ)

Frequently asked questions from Karnataka State Board CLASS 9th MATHS — Chapter 3: Coordinate Geometry, with answers and explanations. These are sample questions; the exam has its own separate question set.

What is the name of the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect?

A. Origin ✓
B. Quadrant
C. Axis
D. Plane

Answer: A. Origin
The x-axis and y-axis meet at the origin, which is represented by (0, 0).

What are the coordinates of the origin?

A. (1, 1)
B. (0, 0) ✓
C. (0, 1)
D. (1, 0)

Answer: B. (0, 0)
The origin is the point where both axes intersect, so its coordinates are (0, 0).

In the ordered pair (x, y), what does the x-coordinate represent?

A. Distance above or below the x-axis
B. Distance left or right of the y-axis ✓
C. Distance from the origin only
D. The quadrant number

Answer: B. Distance left or right of the y-axis
The x-coordinate tells the horizontal position of a point, measured from the y-axis.

A point M is 5 units to the left of the y-axis and 3 units above the x-axis. What are its coordinates?

A. (5, 3)
B. (-5, 3) ✓
C. (-3, 5)
D. (3, -5)

Answer: B. (-5, 3)
Left of the y-axis means x is negative, and above the x-axis means y is positive.

Which of the following points lies in the first quadrant and is equidistant from both axes?

A. (2, 2) ✓
B. (2, -2)
C. (-2, 2)
D. (0, 2)

Answer: A. (2, 2)
A point equidistant from both axes has equal absolute values of x and y. In the first quadrant, both coordinates must be positive.
