CASE STUDY QUESTIONS
20. Study the graph and answer the below questions
Aditya is a Class IX student residing in a village. One day, he went to a city
Hospital along with his grandfather for general checkup. From there he visited
three places – School, Library and Police Station. After returning to his village, he
plotted a graph by taking Hospital as origin and marked three places on the
graph as per his direction of movement and distance. The graph is shown below:
(i) What are the coordinates of School?
(ii) In which quadrant the point (-1, 4) lies?
(iii) Distance between school and police station?
OR
(v) Find the value of (Abscissa of Hospital) – (Ordinate of Library).
