Question

Write the abscissa and ordinate of the following point \[\left( {0,0} \right)\].
1) Abscissa: 0, Ordinate: 0
2) Abscissa: 4, Ordinate: 0
3) Abscissa: 0, Ordinate: 4
4) None of these.

Answer 1

Hint: We need to find the abscissa and ordinate of the given point \[\left( {0,0} \right)\]. The coordinates of a point include one abscissa and one ordinate. The abscissa represents the horizontal \[x\]-axis and ordinate represents the vertical \[y\]-axis. Now, we will observe from the given point which point is the abscissa and which point is ordinary from the given coordinates.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We will first consider the given coordinates point \[\left( {0,0} \right)\].
We need to find the abscissa and ordinates of the point \[\left( {0,0} \right)\].
As we know that abscissa shows the horizontal \[x\] axis of the coordinate and ordinate shows the vertical \[y\]-axis of the ordinate.
Now, we will compare it with the given point \[\left( {0,0} \right)\],
As we can see the first 0 in the coordinates represent the \[x\]-axis point and the second 0 in the coordinates represent the \[y\]-axis point.
Thus, we get that the abscissa and ordinate both are 0.
Thus, the abscissa is 0 and ordinate is also 0.
Hence, option A is correct.

Note: We must remember that the horizontal value that is \[x\] in a pair of coordinates defines the abscissa and the vertical value that is \[y\] in a pair of coordinates defines the ordinate. The first value in the coordinate is abscissa and represents the \[x\] axis and the second value in the coordinate is ordinate and represents the \[y\] axis.
