Question

Abscissa of all the points on the x-axis is:

• A. $0$
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. Any number

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Any number

The abscissa and ordinate are used to represent the position of a point on a graph. The coordinates of the $X-axis$ on the cartesian plane is called abscissa. It is the distance measure from $Y-axis$ measured parallel to $X-axis$.

• The distance of a point from $Y-axis$ scaled with the x-axis is called abscissa or $x$ coordinate of the point.
• The distance of a point from $X-axis$ scaled with the y-axis is called ordinate.

The abscissa and ordinate all together are called coordinates.
Hence, The abscissa of all the points on the $x-axis$can be any number.
