  • A
    Quadrant $IV$
  • B
    Quadrant $I$
  • C
    $y-$axis
  • $x-$axis
Answer
Correct option: D.
$x-$axis
The given point of the form $= (a, 0)$
Here, x-co-ordinate $= a$ and y-co-ordinate $= 0$
$\therefore$ The point of the form $(a, 0)$ always lies on x-axis.
Thus, the point of the form $(a, 0)$ always lies on x-axis.

If the perpendicular distance of a point $P$ from the $x-$axis is $5$ units and the foot of the perpendicular lies on the negative direction of $x-$axis, then the point $P$ has.
  • $y$ coordinate $= 5$ or $-5$
  • B
    $x$ coordinate $= -5$
  • C
    $y$ coordinate $= 5$ only
  • D
    $y$ coordinate $= -5$ only
Answer
Correct option: A.
$y$ coordinate $= 5$ or $-5$
We know that, the perpendicular distance of a point from the $X$-axis gives $y$-coordinate of that point. Here, foot of perpendicular lies on the negative direction of $X$ -axis, so perpendicular distance can be measure in $II$ quadrant or $III $ quadrant. Hence, the point $P$ has $y$-coordinate $=5$ or $-5 .$

  • A
    $36$ sq. units
  • B
    $6$ sq. units
  • $12$ sq. units

Answer
Correct option: C.
$12$ sq. units
We have a point $(0,0)$ i.e; origin.
A point $(4,0)$ whose $y$-coordinate is zero.
So, this point is having 4 units in $x$-axis = base (let) A point $(0,6)$ i.e. 6 units in $y$-axis = height of a triangle so, these point forms a right angle triangle.
So, Area of a triangle $=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{Base}\times\text{Height}$
Area of a triangle $=\frac{1}{2}\times6\times4=12\text{ sq.}\text{units.}$

Assertion: By using graph we can locate $(0, 4)$ on the $y - $axis.
Reason: A point whose $y - $coordinate is zero lies on the $x - $axis.
  • A
    Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
  • Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
  • C
    Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
Obviously, by using graph, we can easily locate $(0, 4)$ on the $y -$ axis,
as any point on the $y -$ axis has the form $(0, a)$, where a is any number. Hence, it is correct.
Also, a point whose $y -$ coordinate is zero lies on the $x -$ axis,
as any point on the $x -$ axis has the form $(a,0)$, where a is any number. Hence, it is correct.
But clearly, the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

For the point to lie on the line $y=3 x+4$, it has to satisfy the equation of the line.
Putting $x=1$, in $y=3 x+4$, we get $y=3(1)+4 \Rightarrow y=7$
So, the point satisfies the equation and hence lies on the given line.
Putting $x=2$, in $y=3 x+4$, we get $y=3(2)+4 \Rightarrow y=10$
So, the point satisfies the equation and hence lies on the given line.
Putting $x=1$, in $y=3 x+4$, we get $y=3(-1)+4 \Rightarrow y=1$
So, the point satisfies the equation and hence lies on the given line.
Putting $x=4$, in $y=3 x+4$, we get $y=3(4)+4 \Rightarrow y=16$
But $y=12$.
So, the point not satisfy the equation and hence lies on the given line.

Which of the following point does not lie on the line $y = 2x + 3?$
  • A
    $(-5, -7)$
  • $(3, 7)$
  • C
    $(-1, 1)$
  • D

Answer
Correct option: B.
$(3, 7)$
Let us put $x=3$ in the give equation, Then, $y=2(3)+3$
$y=6+3=9$
So, the point will be $(3,9)$
For $x=3, y=9$. But in the given option, $y=7$
So, the given point $(3,7)$ will not lie on the line $y=2 x+3$.

Answer
Correct option: B.
$(3, 9)$
For the point to lie on the line $y=2 x+3$, it has to satisfy the equation of the line.
Putting $x=2$, in $y=2 x+3$, we get $y=2(2)+3 \Rightarrow y=7$
But $y=8$.
So, the point does not satisfy the equation and hence does not lie on the given line.
Putting $x=3$, in $y=2 x+3$, we get $y=2(3)+3 \Rightarrow y=9$
So, the point satisfies the equation and hence lies on the given line.
Putting $x=4$, in $y=2 x+3$, we get $y=2(4)+3 \Rightarrow y=11$
But $y=12$.
So, the point does not satisfy the equation and hence does not lie on the given line.
Putting $x=5$, in $y=2 x+3$, we get $y=2(5)+3 \Rightarrow y=13$
But $y =15$.
So, the point does not satisfy the equation and hence does not lie on the given line.
