The first one surely is because it is related to the roots of an equation

such as



The latters I never seen a question related on the GMAT or that specifically asks for that

I hope this helps
Ohh! Thank you so much. It really helps.

Consider checking out the gmatclub math guide section that covers coordinate geometry. Going through the Official Guide geometry questions could also provide some helpful insight as to what concepts may be specifically tested.

Sure! I will do that. Thank You so much.

Hi Pooja,

Co-ordinate Geometry (re: graphing) questions are rather rare on the GMAT (you will likely see just one on Test Day) - and they usually do NOT involve anything too complex (such as Parabolas, Ellipsis, etc.). That having been said, if you're ever given a question that involves an equation in the XY-coordinate plane, then you should be able to quickly graph that equation and then use the resulting picture to answer whatever question is asked (meaning that you don't need any advanced knowledge of the rarer graphs to correctly answer those questions).

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
