If abscissa of a point is 2 and the ordinate is 5, then the coordinates of the point located in xy plane is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → \((2, 5)\)
The abscissa of a point is its x-coordinate (distance from the y-axis) and the ordinate is its y-coordinate (distance from the x-axis). A point is always written as (abscissa, ordinate), so the point is \((2, 5)\). The point \((5, 2)\) of Option (2) has the two coordinates the other way round.
