Welcome to MCQ Assam School. This post contains 30 MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions) on the Class 9 Mathematics Chapter 3. The name of the chapter is “Coordinate Geometry”. So, basically, this post contains 30 MCQs on Coordinate Geometry. These MCQs will help you to understand the chapter better and will also help you prepare for your exam.

The Chapter deals with the following topics:

Introduction to Coordinate Geometry
Cartesian System
Coordinates of a Point
Signs in different quadrants, etc.

These MCQs can also act as a Mock Test. There are 30 MCQs. There are four options for each question. Out of the four options, only one option is correct. Choose the correct options for each question and click on the submit button to see the results. You can also, review your answers. For each right option, you will see a green check mark and for each wrong option, you will see a red cross mark. If the chosen option is wrong then a green check mark will appear near the right option. This way you will know the right answer.

Let’s begin.
