Worked practice questions

In Cartesian co-ordinates, the two perpendicular reference lines are called

  1. x-axis and y-axis
  2. Number line and origin only
  3. Vertical line and slope only
  4. Slope and intercept only
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. x-axis and y-axis

1. Section 26.1 introduces co-ordinate geometry. 2. A point is located using two perpendicular number lines. 3. These lines are the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical). 4. So option A is correct. _Source: Selina Concise Mathematics Class 9, Ch 26 Co-ordinate Geometry (Mistral OCR'd PDF), section 26.1_

In an equation written as y = 3 x - 6, the dependent variable is

  1. x
  2. y
  3. both x and y
  4. neither x nor y
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. y

1. Section 26.2 explains dependent and independent variables. 2. Here y is written as the subject of the equation. 3. Its value depends on the value chosen for x. 4. So y is the dependent variable. _Source: Selina Concise Mathematics Class 9, Ch 26 Co-ordinate Geometry (Mistral OCR'd PDF), section 26.2_

The point of intersection of the x-axis and the y-axis is called the

  1. Vertex with co-ordinates (1, 0)
  2. Centroid with co-ordinates (1, 1)
  3. Origin O with co-ordinates (0, 0)
  4. Focus with co-ordinates (0, 1)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Origin O with co-ordinates (0, 0)

1. Co-ordinate axes cross at one point. 2. That meeting point is called the origin. 3. Its co-ordinates are (0, 0). 4. So option A is correct. _Source: Selina Concise Mathematics Class 9, Ch 26 Co-ordinate Geometry (Mistral OCR'd PDF), section on Cartesian plane_
