Question

A point whose y-coordinate is zero and x-coordinate is 5 will lie

• A. on the x-axis
• B. on the y-axis
• C. above the x-axis
• D. below the x-axis

Answer 1

The correct option is A on the x-axis

It is given that there is a point whose y-coordinate is zero and x-coordinate is 5. Hence, the required point is (5,0). Since the y-coordinate is zero, the given point lies on the x-axis and is at a distance of 5 units from the origin.

$\therefore$ The point (5,0) lies on the x-axis.
