INTRODUCTION TO GRAPHS
1. Write the answer to each of the following questions:
2marks
(i) What is the name of the horizontal and vertical lines drawn to
determine the position of any point in the Cartesian plane?
(ii) Write the name of the point where the above two lines intersect.
2. Plot the points A (2, 3). B (5, 3) C (5, 5) and D (2, 5) on the graph.
Connect the points in that order so as to get a closed figure ABCD.
What type of figure do you get?

3. The quantity of petrol filled in a bike and the cost of petrol are given
in the following table:
Days 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
No.of Shirts
25 30 40 25 15 10 50
Sold
Represent the above information in a graph.
2marks
(i) The point at which the x-axis and y-axis intersect on the cartesian
plane is
(a) abscissa (h) origin (c) ordinate (d) none
Draw a graph showing the data making the graphs on the same
axes .
12. On a cartesian plane, plot the given points A(1, 1), B(5, 1), C(5, 5)
and D(1, 5). Join the points in order.

(i) What figure do you get?
(ii) White coordinates of the point of intersection of the diagonals.
(iii) Are the diagonals equal? Do they intersect each other at right
angles? (Use scale and protractor)
