4. When signs of both coordinates of B(3, -2) are interchanged, then coordinates of
new point are B'(-3, 2) and it will lie in second quadrant.

5. Distances of point C(-3, -2) from x-axis is 2 units in the negative direction and from
y-axis is 3 units in the negative direction. Distances of point D(5, 2) from x-axis is 2
units and from y-axis is 5 units.

6. Here, two ordered pairs are equal.

⇒ Their first components are equal, and their second components are separately
equal.
⇒ x – 3 = 4 and x + y = -6
⇒ x = 7 and 7 + y = -6 ⇒ y = – 13
Hence, x = 7 and y = – 13.

We have taken 1cm = 1 unit and origin O is the mid-point of AB

∴ OA = OB = 3cm
and BC = AD = 3cm
Thus, the coordinates of A are (-3, 0)
the coordinates of B are (3, 0)
the coordinates of C are (3, 3)
the coordinates of D are (-3, 3)
Ans: 2. Coordinates of the point A are (5, 0)
Coordinates of the point B are (5, 3)

ABCD is a rectangle.
Point of intersection of the diagonals AC and BD is (4, 1)

Long Answer:
Ans: 1.

Figure so formed is ABCD a rectangle.

Ans: 2. Let a be the equal distance from origin on both axes. Now, the
coordinates of two points on equal distance ‘a ‘on x-axis are Pla, 0) and R(-a,
0). Also, the coordinates of two points on equal distance ‘a’ on Y-axis are
Q(0, a) and S(0, -a). Join all the four points on the graph. Now, PQRS, thus
formed is a square.

The given trees (points) are Mango (2, 0), Silver Oak (3, 4), Orange (0,7),
Banyan (-3, 4) and Amla (-2, 0). The location of these trees are Orange
(0,7) shown in the graph.
On joining the points of mango, silver oak, orange, banyan and amla in
order, the figure so formed is a regular pentagon.
Planting more trees helpful in reducing pollution and make the
environment clean and green for the coming generations.
Assertion and Reason Answers-
1. a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct
explanation for assertion.

(21)
 4
COORDINATE GEOMETRY

Explanation:
Assertion (A) :
The points(-3,5) and (5,-3) are at different positions in the coordinate plane.
For the point (-3,5)
Abscissa = - 3 & ordinate = 5
The point lies is 2nd quadrant
For the point (5,-3)
Abscissa = 5 & ordinate = - 3
The point lies is 4th quadrant
Since 5 ≠ - 3
So the points(-3,5) and (5,-3) are at different positions in the coordinate plane.
So Assertion (A) is correct
Reason(R) :
If x is not equal to y then the position of (x,y) in the cartesian plane is different
from the position of (y,x)
We know that two point (a, b) & (c, d) are the same point iff a = c , b = d
So if x is not equal to y then the position of (x,y) in the cartesian plane is
different from the position of (y,x)
Therefore Reason(R) is correct
Also reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion
Hence the correct option is:
(a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct
explanation for assertion.
2. d) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Explanation: (-5,0) lies on x-axis because the first part of co-ordinate shows X-
axis and second part show y-axis and also the point (0,-4) lies on y axis not x axis
Hence the assertion is false but the reason is 100% true statement.
