Answer
(i) The abscissa is 2.
The abscissa represents the x-coordinate, so x = 2.
Observing the graph, the y-coordinate for this point is also 2.
Hence, the point is A = (2, 2).
(ii) The ordinate is 0.
The ordinate represents the y-coordinate, so y = 0.
Observing the graph, the x-coordinate for this point is 5.
Hence, the point is B = (5, 0).
(iii) The ordinate is 3.
The ordinate represents the y-coordinate, so y = 3.
Observing the graph, the x-coordinates for this point are -4 and 6.
Hence, the points are C = (-4, 3) and E = (6, 3).
(iv) The ordinate is - 4.
The ordinate represents the y-coordinate, so y = - 4.
Observing the graph, the x-coordinate for this point is 2.
Hence, the point is D = (2, -4).
(v) The abscissa is 5.
The abscissa represents the x-coordinate, so x = 5.
Observing the graph, the y-coordinates for this point are 0, 5 and -3.
Hence, the points are B = (5, 0), H = (5, 5) and G = (5, -3).
(vi) The abscissa is equal to the ordinate.
The abscissa represents the x-coordinate, and ordinate represents the y-coordinate so x = y.
Observing the graph, the points are (2,2), (5, 5) and (4, 4).
Hence, the points are A = (2, 2), H = (5, 5) and I = (4, 4).
(vii) The ordinate is half of the abscissa.
The abscissa represents the x-coordinate, and ordinate represents the y-coordinate so y = .
Observing the graph, the point is (6, 3).
Hence, the point is E = (6, 3).
