What is abscissa of (5,-8) |
Answer» Answer :5 Explanation:The X - coordinate of any point A(x,y) is CALLED the anscissa of the given point A . Here , the x - coordinate was 5 , so the anscissa of (5, -8 ) is 5 . The y - coordinate of any point A(x , y) is called its ordinate . If it was to ASK the ordinate of (5, -8 ) , the ordinate would be -8 . There are four quadrants in a graph : 1) (x,x) 2) (-x , +y) 3) (-x , -y) 4) (x , - y) This point (5 , -8) belongs to the fourth quadrant of the graph containing positive anscissa and negetive ordinate . The geometry of graphs and coordinate points is termed as coordinate geometry . |
