Question

$A$ is a point on $x$-axis at a distance $4$ units from $y$-axis to its left.

The co-ordinates of $A$ are:

• A. $(4,0)$
• B. $(0,4)$
• C. $(-4,0)$
• D. $(0,-4)$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $(-4,0)$

$A$ is a point on the $x$-axis, so its ordinate $y=0$.

Also, $A$ lies $4$ units to the left of $y$-axis, so its abscissa $=-4$

The required co-ordinates of point $A$ are $(-4,0)$.

So, option $C$ is correct.
