A
Correct answer
Explanation
Point (- 5, 0) corresponds to (x, y).
Here, x-coordinate is - 5, i.e. negative and y-coordinate is 0.
$\Rightarrow$So, the point (- 5, 0) lies on the negative x-axis.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
(–5, –4) $\Rightarrow$ Both x and y coordinates are negative.
When x < 0 and y < 0, the point lies in the third quadrant.
So, the point (–5, –4) lies in the third quadrant.

A
Correct answer
Explanation
As the point $\biggl(- \frac{2}{3}, 0\biggr) \leftrightarrow (x,y) $
Here, x co-ordinate is $\frac{-2}{3}$, which is negative and y co-ordinate is 0.
So, the point $\biggl(- \frac{2}{3}, 0\biggr)$lies on the negative x-axis.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The point is $\biggl(\frac{4}{5}, -2 \biggr)$.
It corresponds to (x, y).
When x > 0 and y < 0, the point lies in the 4th quadrant.
So, the point $\biggl( \frac{4}{5}, -2 \biggr)$ lies in the 4th quadrant.

A
Correct answer
Explanation
The point is (17, 9) $\leftrightarrow $ (x, y)
Here, x > 0 and y > 0 and if x is positive and y is positive, then the point lies in the 1st quadrant.
So, point (17, 9) lies in the first quadrant.
OR
The sign of co-ordinate of a point is (+, +), which lies in 1st quadrant.
So, (17, 9) lies in the first quadrant.

C
Correct answer
Explanation
As the point is (8, 0)
(8, 0) $\leftrightarrow $ (x, y)
Here, x-coordinate is 8 which is greater than 0 and y-coordinate is 0, and when y-coordinate is 0, then the point lies on x–axis.
As the x-coordinate is greater than 0, the point (8, 0) lies on positive x–axis.

D
Correct answer
Explanation
The point is (11, – 15).
Here, x-coordinate is 11 > 0 and y-coordinate is – 15 < 0, and the signs of the coordinates are (+, –),
which lie in the 4th quadrant.
So, the point (11, – 15) lies in the 4th quadrant.

B
Correct answer
Explanation
The point is (– 7, 6).
Here, x co-ordinate is – 7 < 0 and y co-ordinate is 6 > 0
i.e. x < 0 and y > 0, and when x is negative and y is positive, then the point lies in 2nd quadrant.
So, the point (– 7, 6) lies in the 2nd quadrant.

C
Correct answer
Explanation
As the point is (7, 0),
(7, 0) $\leftrightarrow $ (x, y)
Here, x co-ordinate is 7 which is positive and y co-ordinate is 0,
and when y co-ordinate is 0, then the point lies on x–axis.
So, the point (7, 0) lies on positive x–axis.

A
Correct answer
Explanation
The point is $\biggl( \frac{-8}{6}, \frac{-7}{3} \biggr)$.
Here, x-coordinate is $\frac{-8}{6}$, which is negative, and y-coordinate is $\frac{-7}{3}$, which is also negative.
i.e. x < 0 and y < 0
When x < 0 and y < 0, the point lies in the third quadrant.
So, the point $\biggl( \frac{-8}{6}, \frac{-7}{3} \biggr)$ lies in the third quadrant.

B
Correct answer
Explanation
The point is (0, – 3).
Here, y co-ordinate is – 3, which is negative
and when x co-ordinate is zero, then the point lies on y-axis.
So, the point (0, – 3) lies on the negative y-axis.

B
Correct answer
Explanation
The point is (– 2, 5).
Here, x-co-ordinate is – 2 < 0 and y co-ordinate is 5 > 0.
And when x < 0 and y > 0 in the point (x, y), then the point lies in the second quadrant.
So, the point (– 2, 5) lies in the 2nd quadrant.
OR
The signs of the co-ordinates of point are (–, +), which lies in the 2nd quadrant.
So, the point (– 2, 5) lies in the 2nd quadrant.
