Question

Find the point which lies on y-axis at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of y-axis.

• A. (0,5)
• B. (5,0)
• C. (0,-5)
• D. (-5,0)

Answer 1

The correct option is C

(0,-5)

Given that the point lies on y-axis, shows that its x-coordinate is zero. The point is at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of y-axis so its y-coordinate is negative. Hence, the required point is (0,-5).
