Question

Find the coordinates of point P.

• A. $(0,6)$
• B. $(6,0)$
• C. $(0,0)$
• D. (a) and (b) above.

Answer 1

The correct option is B $(6,0)$

Step 1: Start at the origin.

Step 2: Keep moving in the right direction untill we are right under the point P. Now, we are 6 units away from the origin in the x-axis direction.
$\therefore x-$coordinate = 6.

Step 3: Now point P is on the x-axis, y−coordinate is always zero for the point which is lying on the x−axis
$\therefore$ y-coordinate = 0


Step 4: We write coordinates of any point in parentheses, where x value is the first and y value is the second.
$\therefore$ Coordinates of point P $=(6,0)$
