Question

A point P lies only on the X-axis. Which of the following represents the coordinates of point P?

• A. (x,0)
• B. (0,x)
• C. (0,y)
• D. (0,0)

Answer 1

The correct option is A

(x,0)

Since the point lies only on the X-axis, its distance from the X-axis is zero. So, its ordinate will be zero. Its abscissa can take any value other than zero, and is represented by a variable 'x'. So its coordinates are (x,0).
